PREFACE. 



'JpO some it may appear that the pubUcation of a work like this belongs properly within the 
province of tiie General Government, and that a citizen in private life shonld not 
presume to offer information on official matters. In reply it should be stated that this work 
is offered only as a convenient digest of official publications already issued by the General 
Government, or State Military Bureaus, to which have been added some original exhibits 
deduced from official statistics heretofore published and unpublished. 

The Adjutant-General's office at Washington has been engaged for several years on the 
pubUcation of the Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies. The work is 
admirably done, but it is of surprising magnitude, and cannot be completed for many years. 
It already fills so many large volumes that it is too bulky and costly for the ordinary student. 
Then, again, there are ijecuhar and interesting deductions which do not come within the scope 
of the Government work, but which find a proper place within these pages. 

The present volume has been undertaken with the belief that a convenient and accurate 
summary of the official statistics would l)e an acceptable addition to tlie history of the war. 
Some details of minor importance have been omitted, as the work is designed for the benefit 
of advanced students, and it is assumed that the reader is already famiUar with the more 
important points in the history of the events alluded to. 

There has l)een a dearth of official information regarding a certain class of regimental 
statistics which are essential to the history of the war, and are of interest, not only to the 
surviving participants, but to all who are interested in the story. Regimental affairs are of 
more imi)oi1ance to tlie average soldier than Corps or Army matters ; and, so, an effort has 
been made to supply within these pages certain facts regarding regimental losses which are 
outside the province of the Government publications. 

It is with pleasure that acknowledgment is made of courtesies extended by the 
Adjutant-Generals of the various State Military Bureaus, and the Adjutant-General's office 
at Washington. Without their kindly assistance the work coidd not have been completed. 

No statistics are given here that are not warranted by tlie official records. The work 
represents the i)atient and conscientious labor of years. Days, and often weeks, have been 
spent on the figures of each regiment. It is hoped that before disputing any essential fact, 
a like careful examination of the rt'cords will be made. Having done that, if any fail to 
reconcile fact.s and statements, they will confer a favor by addressing a comnumication on 
the matter, so that an o|)portunity may be afforded to explain the seeming discrepancy, or, 
if an error, to correct it in a sid)sequeut edition.

Regimental Losses 

IN 

THE AMERICAN CIVIL WAR, 

1861-5. 

CHAPTER I. 



lii'. CASUALTIES OF WAR -MAXIMUM OF KILLED IN UNION REGIMENTS - 
MAXIMUM OP PERC'ExNTAGES. 

\\7-^liS and battles are considered great in proportion to the loss of life resulting from 
them. Bloodless battles excite no interest. A campaign of manoeuvres is accoixled 
l)ut a sr-iall place in history. There have lieen battles as decisive as Waterloo aud Gettysburg : 
but they cost few lives and never became historic. Great as were the results, Waterloo and 
Gettysburg would receive but little n»enlion wore it not for the terrible cost at which tlie 
results were obtained. 

Still, it is difficult to comprehend fully what is implied by the figures whi li represent 
the loss of life in a great battle or a war. As the numbei-s become great, they convey no 
different idea, Avhether they be doubled or trebled. It is only wlien tlie losses are considered 
in detail — by regiments, for instance — that they can be definitely understood. The regiment 
is the unit of organization. It is to the army what a family is to the city. It has a well 
known limit of size, and its losses are intelUgible ; just as a loss in a family can be understood, 
while the greater figures of the city's moiiuary statistics leave no im^jresslon on the mind. 

The history of a battle or a war should always be studied in connection with the figures . 
which show the losses. By overlooking tliem an indefinite, and often erroneous, idea is 
obtained. By neglecting them, many historians fail to develop the important points of the 
contest. They use the same rhetorical description for different attacks, whether the pressure 
was strong or weak ; the loss, great or small ; the fight, bloody or harmless. 

To properly understand the relative importance of tlie various movements on a battle 
field, the student nuist know the loss of life at the difTerent points of the hue. He will then 
see ^^ here the points of contact really were ; where the pressure was greatest ; where the 
scenes of valor and heroism occurred. There is mi better way of doing this than by noting 
the place in the line held by the va)ious regiments atid ascertaining the loss of Ufe in each. 

There were over two thousand regiments in the Union Armies. On some of these the 
brunt of battle fell much heavier than on othei-s. While soni^- Avere exejupted from the

dangers of active service, others were continually at the front. While some were seldom 
called upon to face the enemy's fiie, otliers were repeatedly ordered into the thickest of the 
fight. While in some regiments the number of killed was small, in others the Roll of Honoi- 
was unequaled in the records of modern wars. Who were lliese men who fought so well in 
defense of tlieir flag ? What were the names and numbers of their regiments ? What were 
the losses in these regiments? What limit is there to the toll of blood exacted from a 
regimental thousand dnring a long and bloody war ? 

The one regiment, in all the Union Armies, which sustained the greatest loss in battle, 
dnring the American Civil AVar, was the Fifth Now Hampshire Infantry.* It lost 295 men, 
killed or mortally wounded in action, during its four years of service, from 18G1 to 1865. It 
served in tiie First Division, Second Corps. This division was conmianded, successiveh", by 
Generals Richardson, Hancock, Caldwell, Barlow, and Miles ; and any regiment that followed 
the fortunes of tliese men was sure to find plenty of bloody work cut out for it. The losses 
of the Fifth New Hampshii-e occurred entirely in aggressive, haixl, stand-up fighting ; none of 
it happened in routs or through blunders. Its loss includes eigliteen officers killed, a number 
far in excess of tlie usual proportion, and indicates that the men were bravely led. Its 
percentage of killed is also very large, especially as ba.sed on the original enrollment. The 
ex'M-t percentage of the total enrollment cannot be definitely ascertained, as the loUs were 
loaded down in 1804 with the names of a large number of conscripts and bounty men who 
never juincd the regiment. 

The second highest in the list of infantry regiments ha\ing the greatest mmiber killed in 
battle, is the Eiglity-third Pennsylvania, which lost 282 officers and men who died while 
fighting for the Union. Tliis was a Fifth Corps regiment, serving in Morell's— afterwards 
Griffin's— Fii-st Division. Two of its Colonels were killed, and a third was badly wounded 
and crippled for life. It was a splendid regiment, well officered and well drilled. It suffered 
a severe loss in killed, by percentage, as well as in numbers. 

The next regiment on the list is the Seventh Wisconsin Infantry, of the Famous Iron 
Brigade, Wadsworth's (First) Division, First Corps. This gallant regiment stands high in 
the list, because of its many battles and the persistency with which it would hold its ground 
in the face of the deadliest musketry. By glancing at tlie table of percentages, it will be 
seen that the Seventh occupies an honorable place in that list also. 

Next, among the regiments sustaining the greatest loss in action, stands the Fifth 
Michigan, of the Thii'd Corps, in which 203 were killed ; and next, comes the Twentieth 
Massachusetts, of the Second Corps, \vith a credit of 2fiO killed in battle. 

The following table will show clearly the relative position of the leading infantry 
rogimtMits in point of niuuerical loss. It embraces every infantry regiment in the Union 
Armies which lost over 200 men, killed or mortally wounded iu actiou, during the war. lu 
all, there are forty-five :

4 Regimentai, Losses in the Civil War. 

It may be of interest to state here that on the records of the War Department some of 
these regiments are not credited with quite so many men killed ; and, that if a tabulation 
were to be made from the official figures at Washington, the relative positions of some of 
these regiments would have to be slightly changed. In the first five regiments the Seventh 
Wisconsin woidd head the list, and the Fifth New Hampshire would stand third instead of 
first : while the Eighty-third Pennsylvania, the Fifth Michigan and the Twentieth Massa- 
clmsetts would still hold, respectively, the second, fourth and fifth places, as before. The 
records of the War Department show as follows : 

7th Wisconsin 280 killed or died of wounds. 

83d Pennsylvania 278 " " " " " 

5th Xew Hampshire 277 " " " " " 

5th Michigan - 262 " " " " " 

20th Massachusetts -.. 257 " " " " " 

This difference arises from the fact that in each regiment there were men borne on the 
muster-out rolls as "missing in action," whose fate had not been determined at the close of 
the war, at which time these rolls were made out. But, since then, many of the States have 
made strenuous efforts to ascertain the fate of these^ men. New Hampshire, for in'icance, 
published a supplement to its printed muster-out rolls, in which it accounts definitelj"^ for most 
of its missing, the State Adjutant-General having obtained, from various sources, satisfactoiy 
evidence that these men were killed. But the War Department declines — and very properly — 
to account for missing men as killed until they receive ofiicial information to that effect. The 
official channels, through which such information must come, are the original records of 
the mustei'-out rolls ; the final statements, as they are technically termed ; and the affidavits 
which may accompany a pension claim. 

Now, the State of New Hampshire, and other States as well, have ascertained definitely 
that many of their missing men were killed, and have revised their records accordingly;* but, 
if these missing men have no heirs to prosecute their claims at tlie Pension Office, the records 
at Washington will remain unchanged, and the men will still be recorded there, not among 
the killed, but as missing. The mortuary statistics in these pages are compiled largel)^ from 
State records ; hence, the figures in many cases will exceed those of the War Office. The 
variation, howevei', is not important enough to warrant this digression were it not for the 
honest endeavor to arrive at exactness, and to forestall any possible misunderstanding or 
controversy. 

In treating here of the matter of losses in battle, or otherwise, each regiment will be 
considered by itself. Hence, it is imi)ortant that the student before going further should 
understand thoroughly the size and formation of a regiment, in order to comprehend the 
extent and nature of the loss Otherwise, the figures would have little or no meaning. 

The infantry regiments, which formed the bulk of the army, had a maximum of 
organization beyond which reciiiiting was not allowed. There was, also, a mininmm of 
strength which must be obtained before a regiment could be accepted. An infantry command 
consisted of ten companies of foot, and the Field and Staff : the latter were mounted, and 
consisted of the Colonel and such offii-ers as were not attached to the company forujations. 
The maximum formatiou v/as as follows ;

1 Colonel. 1 Captain.

Total _. 1025 



In the minimum organization the formation, and numher of officers, was the same ; liut 
the numher of pi'ivates was placed at 64, making the total of the minimum, 845. The 
newly recruited regiments, accordingly, ranged in numhers from 845 to 1025. The most of 
tliem left their rendezvous with full ranks, especially those which were raised under the 
second call for ti'oops, in 1802. As their numhers hecame reduced by disease and wounds, 
fresh recruits were added, so that the total enrollment of a regiment was often increased 
several hundred before its term of service expired. Nominally, an infantry regiment consisted 
of one thousand men, less the depletion incidental to its service, the actual number of 
effectives being far below the nominal one. 

In addition to the infantry, there wei'e 32 regiments of heavy artillery in the voiUuteer 
service. It would be unnecessary to mention these were it not that the heaviest loss in 
battle, of any regimental organization, occurred in two of these regiments, each of which lost 
more men killed than the Fifth New Hami^shire. But, owing to their larger organization and 
different foiination, they must be considered secondly, and in a class by themselves. A 
regiment of heavy artillery contained 1800 men, divided into 12 companies of 150 ; attached 
to each company were five line ofKcers — a captain and four lieutenants. The regiment was 
divided into three battahons of four companies, with each battalion under the command 
of a Major. There was but one Colonel and one Lt. Colonel, as in infantry. These troops 
perforined garrison duty, serving mostly \\nthin the fortifications around Washington, or in 
the coast defences where heavy ordnance was used. In the spring of 1864, most of the heavy 
artillery regiments within the defences of Washington were ordered to the front, where they 
served as infantry, and took an active part in the campaign. 

The heaviest loss in this arm of the service — and, also, in any regiment of the army — 
occurred in the First Maine Heavy Artillery, of Birney's Division, Second Corps. During its 
term of service it lost 23 officers and 400 enlisted men killed or mortally wounded in battle. 
This regiment is remarkable, also, for its large percentage of loss ; for the large number of 
officers killed ; and, for having sustained in a certain engagement the greatest loss of any 
regiment in any one Itattle. The First Maine H. A. did not take the field until May, 1S64, 



1

having served the two pi'evious years in the fortifications of Wasliington. Its fighting and 
all its losses occurred within a period of ten months. 

The next greatest loss in the heavy artillery is found in the Eighth New York, of Gibbon's 
Division, Second Coi'ps, in which regiment 10 officers and 342 enlisted men were killed or died 
of wounds during their three years' term of service. Like the First JIaine, it did not go to 
tiie front nor see any fighting until the last year of its service, all its losses occuring during 
the last ten months of the war. 

The following list embraces all the heavy artillery regiments in which the number of 
killed, or died of wounds, exceeded two hundred :

The Second Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery carried, from first to last, over 5000 names on 
its rolls. In fact, it comprised two regiments — one in the Ninth, and one in the Eighteenth 
Corps. In the spring of 1SC4, the regiment, I80(i strong, joined the Second Division of the 
Eighteenth Corps, at Cold Harbor. The surplus men had been previously formed into a 
"provisional" regiment with the same designation, and assigned to the Ninth Corps. The 
most of the losses occurred in this provisional command. 

A cavalry regiment numbered 1200 men, nominally, and was divided into twelve 
companies of one hundred each. They did not suffer such severe losses in particular 
engagements as did the infantry, but tiieir losses were divided among a great many more 
battles. The cavalry went into action very much oftener than infantry. Although mounted 
and armed with sabres, much of their fighting was done dismounted, and with carbines. The 
mounted regiments which lost the most men, killed or fatally wounded in action, were the

The light artillery was composed of batteries with a maximum strength of 150 men and 
six guns. Before tlie war closed many of tliem were reorganized as four-gun batteries. In

some cases there were i-eginiental organizations comprising 12 batteries, but most of the 
troops in this arm of the service were independent commands ; even where there was a 
regimental organization, eacli battery acted separately and independently of the others. In 
the volunteer service the leading batteries, in point of loss in battle, were as follows :

The loss in the Eleventh Ohio Battery occiUTed almost entirely in one action, 19 of its men 
having been killed or mortally wounded at luka in a charge on the battery. In the other 
1 latteries, however, the losses represent a long series of battles in which they rendered effective 
s(!rvice, and participated with honor to themselves and the arm of the service to which they 
belonged. 

Among the light batteries of the Regular Army, equally heavy losses occurred in the 
following faaious commands :

The foregoing pages show accurately the limit of loss in the various regimental 
organizations in the civil war. The figures will probably fall below the prevalent idea as to 
the number killed in certain regiments ; but these figures are the only ones that the muster- 
out rolls will warrant, and no others can be accepted. True, there are many errors in the 
roUs ; but they have been thoi'oughly revised and corrected. 

There have been too many careless, extravagant statements made regarding losses in 
action. Officers have claimed losses for their regiments, which are sadly at variance with the 
records which they certified as correct at the close of the war— muster-out rolls which they 
made out themselves, and on which they accounted for each man in their command. If any 
veteran is sur]ii'ised at the figures given here and feels disposed to question their accuracy, let 
him first carefully examine the muster-out rolls of his regiment. It will not be neces.sary to 



8 Regimental Losses in the Civil War. 

exaggerate the result. To the thoughtful, the trath will be sensational enough : the correct 
figures are amply heroic, and are unsurpassed in the annals of war. 

The number of men killed in a regiment during its term of service has thus far been 
considered only in respect to the maximum of loss, and the result is of value only so far as it 
defines the limit of casualties to which regiments of this size are exposed. But, though similar 
in formation, the regiments varied in numbers according to the recruits or transferred men 
received. Some regiments ]-eceived large numbers of recruits to make good their losses, while 
other commands went through the war Avith constantly lessening ranks and carried only the 
original thousand, or less, upon their rolls. Some regiments which reenlisted at the end of 
their three yeai's' tei'm received large accessions from other commands Avhich, returning home, 
left detachments in the field composed of recruits with unexpired terms, or reenlisted men. 
Distinction must be made, in the matter of losses in action, between the regiments whose 
ranks were always kept full, and the ones which received no fresh material. 

In short, the proper way to judge of the relative losses of regiments during their term 
of service is to accompany the statement of the losses with the figures of the total enrollment, 
and compai-e the percentages as well as the losses. The regiments in the following list can 
fairly claim the honor of having encountered the hardest fighting in the war. They may not 
have done the most effective fighting, nor the best fighting ; but they evidently stood where 
the danger was thickest, and were the ones which faced the hottest musketry. They were all 
well-known, reliable commands, and served with unblemished records. The maximum of loss 
is reached in this table :

Total Enrollments. 9 

The loss in the Second Wisconsin indicates the extreme limit of danger to which human 
hfe is exposed in a v\-ar similar in duration and activity to the American Civil War. It shows 
tlie chances which a man takes wlien he enhsts. The figures, however, ai-e the result of the 
weapons and mode of figliting of twenty years ago. Since then, muzzle-loading rifles have 
been dispensed with. Still, in the Franco-Prussian war, in which the troops were arn)ed with 
breech-loaders, there was no increase in the percentage of casualties. In fact, the old muzzle- 
loaders were capable of delivering a hotter fire than any body of troops could withstand. At 
Marye's Heights and Cemetery Ridge, the bravest of assaulting columns recoiled from their 
fire ; breech-loaders could have done no more. There was a limit of punishment beyond 
which endurance would not go, and the old Springfield rifle was capable of inflicting it. 

But the figures of the Second Wisconsin, and of the other regiments as well, fail to show 
the full percentage of loss : the actual percentage was much larger. The figures given are 
based upon the total enrollment of the regiment, and necessarily include the non-combatants — 
the musicians, teamsters, comj^any cooks, officers' servants, Surgeon's assistants, and Quarter- 
master's men ; also, the sick, the detailed men, and absentees of all kinds. If the percentage 
were based on the number of men who were accustomed to follow the coloi-s into action, 
the figures would be still more startling. But there is no place to draw a dividing line, 
and so the total enrollment must be taken. As all regiments were pretty much alike 
in respect to the number of non-combatants, it shows fairly their relative positions in 
point of loss. 

These figures, let it be remembered, include only the killed and mortally wounded. To 
understand their full significance, one must bear in mind the additional loss of wounded men 
who .survived their injuries — many of them surviving only to drag their marred and crippled 
lives along a lower plane of existence. In the Second Wisconsin nearly 900 men were killed 
or wounded, leaving but few unharmed of those who carried arms. 

In stating the total enrollment of a regiment, the statistician is often in doubt as to what 
figures may be fairly used. In the Second Wisconsin there were two companies K. The first 
one I'emamcd with the regiment but a few weeks and was then permanently detached. Its 
place was taken by another company which was recruited in October, 1861. It would, 
manifestly, be unfair to include both companies in the enrollment, and so the first was not 
counted. Yet, the first company K was with the regiment in the battle of First Bull Eun, 
and lost in that action one man killed and two missing. As this loss is included in the figures 
given for the Second Wisconsin, absolute accuracy would demand their subtraction before 
calculating the percentage. The I'egiment would, however, stiU remain at the head of the Ust 
in the table of ^lercentages. 

In the case of the First Maine Heavy Artillery a careful discrimination was also necessary. 
The enrollment given here includes the original regiment, together with all recruits received 
prior to the close of the war. But, in June, 1865 — two months after the war had closed— the 
regiment received a large accession from the Seventeenth and Nineteenth Maine Infantry. 
These latter commands had been mustered out, upon which the recruits with unexpired 
terms of service were transferred to the First Maine Heavy Artillery. These men— trans- 
ferred after the war had ended— are not included in the enrollment, as they formed no part 
of the body under consideration in the matter of percentage of loss. Their number had 
already entered into the calculation of the regiments in which they had previously served. A 
careful examination of the rolls of the First Maine Heavy Artillery, name by name, shows 
that 2202 men only were enrolled prior to the surrender at Appomattox. 

A similar case is found in the Fifty -seventh Massachusetts, which carried 10.52 names, 
officers and enlisted men, on its rolls up to the close of the w^ar. On the 9th of August, 1865— 
four months after the fighting had ceased— its rolls were increased by a tr asfer of the 



10 



Eegdiextal Losses ix the Civil War. 

The names thus added were not 



Fifty-ninth Massachusetts, which was consohdated \%ith it 
included in the enrollment imder consideration. 

In the foUowing table ^ill be found every regiment in which the loss in killed and died of 
wounds exceeded ten i^er cent, of the total enroUment :

In some of the regiments of the preceding list, a part of tlie enrollment has been omitted, 
and the percentage was calculated on the number enrolled during the period of active service. 
In some cases deduction was made for large bodies of conscripts which never joined the 
regiment, although their names were borne upon the rolls ; also, for accessions of substitutes 
and drafted men who did not reach the regiment until the fighting had practically ended. 
Partial enrollments were used in calculating the percentages of the Second Massachusetts, 
Third Wisconsin, Twentieth Massacliusetts, Seventh West Virginia, Eighty-second New York, 
and Eighty -third New York. 

There were many regiments which would appear in the preceding table of high percentages 
were it not that their rolls were unduly swelled by useless names ; by conscripts and merce-

naries who deserted on their way to the front ; and by transfers from disbanded regiments, 
in which too large a number of the men appeared on the transfer papers only. An attempt 
has been made in the succeeding pages to render justice to such regiments by tabulating the 
original enrollment separately, and stating the percentage of killed as based on that. In the 
Fifth New Hami)shire, which does not appear in the table of high percentages, 17.9 per cent, 
of the original regiment were killed oi- mortally wounded. 

Care was necessary, also, to avoid counting names twice, as in many regiments men were 
transferred from one company to another, their names appearing on the muster-out rolls of 
each comjjany. In the printed rolls of the New Jersey troops these men are counted twice in 
the recapitulation which appears at the end of each regimental roll, thereby increasing, appar- 
ently, the quota of men furnished, but lowering the percentage of killed. Still, the printed 
rolls of the New Jersey i-egiments are in better shape than those of any other State, and are 
highly creditable to the authorities who had charge of the publication In the regimental 
rolls published by Massachusetts, the names of those who reenlisted appear twice ; and in all 
the State rolls names are duplicated more or less as the result of transfers or consolidation of 
companies. On the Wai- Department records, a man who reenlisted was counted as two 
men, and so credited on the quota of the State. 

In the figures given here, pains have been taken to avoid counting a man more than once, 
the intention being that the total enrolhueut should show exactly the number of individuals 
'who served in each regiment. 



CHAPTER II. 



MAXIMUM OF REGIMENTAL LOSS IN KILLED IX ANY ONE BATTLE — 
PROPORTION OF AVOUNDED TO KILLED. 

TITAVING an-ived at the maxiniuin of killed in a regiment during its term of service with 
its many battles, the question naturally arises as to the greatest number killed in any 
one action. Thei-e has been a great deal of exaggeration regarding regimental losses in 
particulai- battles, especially in instances Avhei'e the loss was comjiaratively sniaU ; while some 
regiments which really sustained heroic losses are never mentioned in this particular.' The 
figures in connection with this subject are interesting, as they show the extreme limit of loss 
in human life during a battle, in a regiment of the size common to the American Armies. 
Larger figures, of course, may be found in the casualty lists of the German regiments in the 
Franco-Prussian war, but these regiments contained tln-ee times as many me^. 

Although the casualty lists of a regiment are always stated in kiL :. wounded, and 
missing, the appended list shows only the killed, including those who died of their wounds. 
Farther on, in the "List of Battles, with Regiments sustaining Higliest Loss in Each," these 
same losses are given again, showing the number of killed, wounded, and missnig ; but in 
that table the mortally wounded are included with the wounded instead of with the killed. 

The surviving wounded and the missing are omitted in the following list, in order to 
emphasize the more important feature of the loss, and the consequent relative position of the 
various regiments in this respect. Tiie losses of the different commands can be compared 
better by eliminating the somewhat indefinite factor of the wounded and missing, and tabu- 
lating the regin\ents with regard only to the killed and died of wounds. 

This list has been prepared after a careful examination of the muster-out rolls of every 
regiment whose losses would indicate that they might possibly have a place in this column. 
In each case the rolls have been examine d name by name, in order to count the ones recorded 
there as killed or mortally Avounded in the battles mentioned. The list includes every regiment 
in the Union Armies Avhich sustained, in any one battle, a loss in killed or mortally wounded 
of fifty or more. 

The First Maine Heavy Artillei'y took 'JJU officers and men into the assault on Petersburg, 
June ISth, 1S(U, and the Fifth New York took 400 into the fight at Manassas. These figures 
must be borne in mind in case of a comparison with the maximum battle-loss of regiments in 
foreign wars. Still higher percentages, however, occurred at times during the Civil Wai', 
and will be found recorded farther on.

Included in the "Captured and Missing" are many wounded men. also a large number 

uHed. Their relative proportion cannot be ascertained, but it probably would not differ 

Lg':: from the u -nal ratio to change the average to any extent. In the preceding table the 

Fredericksburg, Chaucellorsville, Chickamauga, and Drewry's Bluff aie omitted. 



24 Kegimkntal Losses ix the Uivii. War. 

Ill those battles the Union Armies lost possession of the field, and consequently a large 
number of the killed ai-e included with the missing — so large a number that any ratio based 
on the casualties of these battles would be misleading. 

In the German army, dui-ing the Franco-Prussian war, the proportion of wounded to 
tlie killed was 5.4, and the proportion of wounded to the killed and mortally wounded was 
3.02.* 

Mr. Kirkley, the statistician of the War Department, states the deaths from battles 
during the Civil War at 110, Old, of which «57,0."')8 are classified as killed in action, and 43,012 
as having died of wounds. Fi-om this it appears that, on the average, the mortally wounded 
ai-e equal to 64 i^er cent, of the killed. + Hence, the propoixion of wounded to killed may be 
expi-essed by the following formulas, the first showing the propoi-tion where the mortally 
wounded are included with the wounded, and the second where they are included with the 
killed. 

Killed. Wounded. Killed. Wounded. 

(a) 100 + 480 = 580 or as 1 .• 4.s 

(6) 16 + 416 = 5S0 or as 1 : 2.5 

Tlie first represents the common form used in stating the casualties at the close of an 
action ; the second repi-esents the same loss, after the number of those who died of wounds 
has been ascertained fiom the muster-out rolls, and added to the killed outright. The first 
is the common one used in all military repoi'ts and histories. 

In the Surgeon -General's Report of the War, it appears that out of 235,585 cases of gun- 
shot wounds treated in the hospitals, 33,653 died of their injuries — a ratio of 14 per cent., and 
one which agrees closely with tlie conditions expressed in the preceding formulas.^ 

From the second formula it may be deduced, that if 110,070 were killed or mortally 
wounded in the war, the total of casualties may be further stated as : — 

Killed and Died of Wounds (official) 1 10,o70 

Wounded, not mortally 275, 175 

Total of killed and wounded 385,245 

If these formulas are correct they are of value, as there is no other way of an-iving at the 
total number of killed and wounded in the war. There were so many minor engagements for 
which no official returns of casualties were made, that any summary of the casualties by 
battles would fall far short of the correct amount. 

The nmnber of wounded treated at the hospitals during the war was '240,712, which, 
according to the Surgeon-General's estimate, embraced nine-lenths of all the wounded. Of 
these hospital cases, only 922 were wounded by sabres or bayonets, and a large jjroportion of 
these oi-iginated in private quarrels, or were inflicted by camp-guards in the discliarge of 
their duty. 

This ratio of 4.S, though true in the aggregate, varies greatly in particular instances; 
though generally correct as to the loss of an army in battle, it will not always hold good for 
a particular regiment. Still, the same regiment which in some one engagement may show a

were mortally wounded, but died within Si hours. The deaths from wounds prior to May 1. 1871, lncrease<l the number of killed to 88.277. The 
missinK were subsequently accounted for, with the exception of 4,009. The total deaths in the German army— in the field— durinjt the war were

far different proportion, will in its aggregate of battles, show the usual ratio; particularly so 
if its losses are not complicated b)' too large a number of missing. 

Tlie exact number of wounded who die of injuries received in any battle is an important 
element iu this matter of losses in action. The man who dies under the surgeon's knife should 
be included with the killed as well as the one who, a few liours before, slowly bled to death 
upon the field. The mangled soldier who survived a day belongs with the killed as iiuich 
as the one who was buri<Kl where he fell. And, yet, they never are. Take Gettysburg, for 
instance. The official figures for the Unitm loss at Getty.sburg have lately been revised and 
corrected at the War Department. This final statement shows that the Union Army lost at 
Gettyshuig 3,0(53 killed, 14,4!t2 wounded, and 5,435 missing. But, as usual, the mortally 
wounded are included in the U,-f92 wounded. As no further statement of this loss will be 
made by the War Department, the question arises as to how many of the wounded died of 
tlieir injuries. How luany of the Union Army weie killed or died of their wounds as a result 
of the battle of Gettysburg ? What was the actual loss of life ? 

Hitherto, this important question has never been answered. The writer, impressed with 
its importance, has examined the I'olls of each regiment wliich fought at Gettysbui-g, and 
picked off, name by name, the number of those who were killed or died of wounds in that 
gi-eatest of historic battles. As a result, it appears that 5,2'Jl men lost their lives, fighting for 
the Union on that field. To the recapitulation of losses, as publislied by Mr. Kirkley in 1S86, 
I have attached here the number of killed, as increased by those who died of wounds, three- 
fourths of whom died within a week.

From these figures it appears tliat the Second Coi'ps sustained tiie greatest loss in killed, 
althougli the First Corps is credited with the largest number of casualties. The strengtli nl 
each Corps, in infantry, present for duty eipiipped, June 30, 1803, was :— 



First Corps, 9,403

It is extremely doubtful, however, if any one of these corps carried into action four-fifths

"brigade (tln-ee regiments), which joined July 2d ; the two other regiments of this brigade 
eie witli the wagon train. 



CHAPTER III. 



PERCENTAGE OF KILLED IN REGIMENTS IN PARTICULAR BATTLES — COM- 
PARISON OF SUCH LOSSES WITH THOSE OF EUROPEAN REGIMENTS. 

'T'HE loss sustained by a regiment in anj- battle can be properly estimated, only when the 
number of men engaged is known and taken into consideration. The small battalion in 
which fifty men were killed must not be classed, in point of loss, with tlie large regiment 
losing the same number. The 31 men killed in the One Hundred and Forty-first New York, 
at Peach Tree Creek, was as severe a loss as the 102 killed in the Eleventh Illinois at Fort 
Donelsou. The percentage of loss in each case was the same, and the one faced as hot a fire 
as the other. 

In proportion to the number engaged, the greatest loss sustained by any regiment, during 
the war, was that of the First Minnesota at Gettysburg. This regiment was then in 
Harrow's Brigade, Gibbon's Division, Second Corps. On the afternoon of the second day at 
Gettysburg, the Union line was driven back in confusion from its position along the Emmetts- 
burg road. While Hancock was '" patching" up a second line, he perceived a column of the 
enemy (Willcox's Brigade) emerging suddenly from a clump of trees near an unprotected 
portion of his line. The First Minnesota, alone and unsupported, was in position near by, 
and Hancock, desirous of gaining time until reenforcements could be brought forward, 
i-ode up to Colonel Colville and ordered him to take the enemy's colors.* A desperate 
fight ensued, in which the enemy was forced back, leaving their colors in the hands of the 
First Minnesota. Speaking of this affair afterwards, General Hancock is reported to have 
said: 

"There is no more gallant deed recorded in history. I ordered those men in there because 
I saw that I must gain five minutes' time. Reenforcements were coming on the run, but I 
knew that before they could reach the threatened point the Confederates, unless checked, 
would seize the position. I would have ordered that regiment in if I had known every man 
would be killed. It had to be done, and I was glad to find such a gallant body of men at 
at hand, wiUing to make the terrible sacrifice that the occasion demanded." 

The regiment took ■2{r2 otificers and men into this affair. + It lost ^>0 killed and 174 
wounded, total, 224 casualties, nearly all of which occurred in this fight. A remarkable 
feature of this loss is that none were missing. Seventeen officers were killed or wounded. 



• " DashinB up to the Colonel, and pointing to the Confederate column, he exclaims : ' Do you see those colors? Take them ! ' "—(Gen. 
Francis A. Walker; Hist. Second Army Cori'S. ) 

+ The morning report of the First Minnesota for June 30th— the last return made before the battle— show-s 27 officers and .'S.'i8 men " present 
for duty," not including a company of sharpshooters attached tCo. L), which was not present, havintr been detailed as a support to Kirby's 
Battery. This number— " present for duty"— included the non-combatants, the Chaplain, (iuarterm.-ister. three Suraeons. liuartermaster- 
Sergeant, Commissary-SerKeant iind his assistanti. Hosnital Steward and assistants, from ten to twenty musicians, ten company cooks, officei-s' 
servants, and other details. Some. al30. may have fallen out on the forced march to the field. 

The regiment took eieht companies into tliis affair of July 2d. Company c: was on duty at Headquartei-s as a provosteuard. and Company p 
had been detailed elsewhere on the field. Colonel Colville states that "the loss on the 2d was21.'i killed and wounded, out of 262"; and that on 
the.Sd, " Companies P and C, having: rejoined, broucht the number in that day's fight up to about 100 men."— il..etter to Major H. T>- O'Brien, 
published in the " Picket Guard." i The casualties on the ad increased the loss to 234. There were 8 officers and 91 men for duty at tli ' close of 
the third day's battle. The number present in action on the 2d (263) is the one on which the percentage of loss stionld be based, or at W, st , 
loss for that day. The sharpshooters (Company L) did not rejoin until : ter the battle ; neither their number present nor tUeiT cusiwlt'ei' h;' 
been included, (26^ 



Percentage of Killed lv Pakticular Engagements. 2T 

the latter including the Colonel, Lieutenant Colonel, Major, and Adjutant. The killed, with 
those who died of their wounds, numbered 75, or over 28 per cent, of those engaged— a per- 
centage of killed unequalled in military statistics.* 

The next largest percentage of killed occurred at Spotsylvania, in the Fifteenth New 
Jersey. This regiment belonged to the First Jersey Brigade, Wright's Division, Sixth 
Corps, 1 lost 116 killed or mortally wounded at Spotsylvania. Unlike the sudden loss of 
the First Minnesota at Gettysburg, its casualties occurred in three different actions : 31 Avere 
lost on May Sth, 5 on May 10th, and SO on May 12th, at the Bloody Angle. It may be urged 
that, these being three different affairs, the losses should not bo consolidated. If they had 
occurred at different places, as, for instance. South Mountain and Antietam, the criticism 
would hold good ; but this fighting was done at one place, and the continuous nervous strain 
made it as heroic as if the loss had occurred in one brief charge. This regiment crossed the 
Rapidan May 5th, with -lU effective men.-j- It sustained but a slight loss at the Wilderness, 
and took 432 officers and men into action at Spotsylvania, of whom 116 were killed or died of 
wounds — a loss of 26 per cent. Within nine days after breaking camp, it was reduced to 5 
olficei"s and 136 men available for action. 

Next, in percentage of killed in particular engagements, is the Twen*:y-fifth Massa- 
chusetts at Cold Harbor, then in Stannard's Brigade, Martindale's Division, Eighteenth Corps. 
This loss occm-red in the assault on tlie eaitiiworks at Cold Harbor, where it was subjected 
to a terrible fire. A Confedei-ate officer, describing the advance of the Twenty -fifth against 
his works, writes that the heroic regiment struggled forward under a fire which seemed to 
litcu'ally annihilate them ; tliat the whole liim seemed to disapi)ear ; and he expresses wonder 
that any could have survived. Th(.> loss was 53 killed, 130 wounded, and 28 missing, "out of 
? 10 reported for duty that morning. ":{; On the following day there were only 4 officers and 
(/2 men left on duty. Many of the missing were killed. The nuister-out rolls of the Twenty- 
fifth bear the names of 74 officers and men who were killed or mortally wounded during the 
quarter of an hour which covered that assault ; a loss of 24 per cent, in killed, and over two- 
thirds in killed and wounded. Tlie small lunnber taken into this action was owing to the 
heavy losses which the regiment had just sustained, a few days previous, in the Drewry's 
Bluff campaign. The Confederate officer just referred to, states further that his men were 
massed five ranks deep behind tluur breastworks ; that the front rank alone fired, while the 
others passed up loaded rifles, which were discharged as rapidly as they could be fired ; that, 
in addition to this, the artillery posted in the salients, poured a flanking fire of canister into 
the i-auks of the doomed regiment. 

A smaUer loss as to the number killed, but equally remai'kable as to percentage, is found 
in the record of the One Hundred and Forty-first Pennsylvania at Gettysburg. This regiment 
was, at that time, in Graham's Brigade. Birney's Division. Tiiird Corps, It had already 1 ,t 
at ChancellorsviUe 235 (killed, wounded, and missing) out of 417 engaged there. At 
Gettysburg, only li)S answered to the morning rofl call,§ of whom 25 were killed, 103 wounded, 
and 21 missing ; total, 149. Tlie killed, with those who died of wounds, numbered 49, or 24 
per cent, of those engaged. The One Hundred and Forty-first fought at Gettysburg in the 
famous Peach Orchard. 

One of the most remarkable losses in the war, both in numbers and percentage, occurred 
at Manassas, in Gen. Fitz John Porter's Corps, in the celebrated Duryee Zouaves (Fifth New 
York), of Warren's Brigade, Sykes' Division. General Sykes, in his official report, states 

• There have been affairs known as ■' massacres," in which all, or nearly all. have lost their lives. In the battle of the Little Bis Horn (1870). 
a fight between some hostUe tribes of Indians and a detachment of the Seventh U. S. Cavalry under Gen. Custer, the entire command of the 
fitter was annihilated Fourteen officers and 330 enlisted men were killed, including Gen. Custer. Not one escaped ; each refused to surrender, 
and fought to the death.

Regimental Losses i.v the Civil War. 



that the regiment took 490 into action. It lost 79 killed, 170 wounded, and 48 missing ; totiil, 
207. Many of the missing wei-e killed. The deaths from wounds increased the number 
killed to 117,* or 23 per cent, of those engaged, the greatest loss of life in any infantry 
regiment during the war, in any one battle. The regiment held an exposed position, and 
Gen. Warren states that when he endeavored to extricate them, " they w^re unwilling to make 
a backward movement."' This is the regiment Avhich, at Gaines' Mill, having been badly 
thirued, closed up its ranks and counted off anew "with great coolness while exposed to 
a most terrific fire !" — (Official Report.) 

The following list of percentages will indicate fairly the extent of loss in killed, to which 
a regiment is liable in battle. The number engaged is, in most cases, takea from the official 
reports. In some instances, however, the number given was ascertained fiom statements in 
regimental histories.

Unlike other tabulations in these pages, the above list is not an exhaustive one. Although 
showing losses of over ten per cent., it does not include every loss which exceeded that ratio. 
It is impossible, in many cases, to ascertain the number of muskets taken into action ; regi- 
mental commandants seldom stated it, although it always would have formed an important 
item in their official leport. 

Morning reports are of little assistance in this matter, for there was always a wide 
difference between the number of men reported as " present for duty " and the number taken 
into action. Although the morning reports stated the " present for duty" separately from the 
"aggregate present," there were still a large number of non-combatants included in the 
"present for duty'"; a lai'ge number of men detailed on special duties — too often, contrary 
to orders ; and in case of a hard march, immediately preceding a battle, many fell out from 
inability to keep up, to say nothing of disinclination. General McClellan, in his official 
report of the battle of Antietam, carelessly states the strength of his army at 87,164, when it 
is "doubtful if he had 00,0(H) muskets on tiie field.* Yet the morning reports would justify 
his statement. 

Let it be hoped that, in the future wars of the Republic, the army may have its corps of 
intendants, as in the German Army ; that every wearer of the national uniform shall be a 
man-at-arms, serving as such only ; and that the men attached to the trains and aU other 
subsidiary departments shall be enlisted for such service and wear a different uniform. Then 
a morning report will be some indication of the strengtli of a regiment or of an army. 

The Confederates managed these things better. They counted their men as they went 
into action, and were careful to report no larger number. They were quick to see the 
important point involved. In General Cheatham's official report for Stone's River, he not 
only tabulates the number o"f killed and wounded in his division, but adds other columns in 
which he states the number of men taken into action by each regiment and the consequent 
percentage of loss. 

This mention of the actual force engaged is a fi-equent item in the reports of the Confed- 
erate colonels, while in the Union Army it is correspondingly rare. In the latter there were 
so many men detailed contrary to order — officers' servants, for instance — that, too often, a 
colonel did not care to call attention to the discrepancy between his morning report and his

effective strength. The Union Annies generally ontnnmbered the Confederates, hnt the 
disparity was not so great as the official figures always implied. 

Although the reports of the Union commanders seldom mentioned the numbei taken into 
action by each regiment, General Hancock was thoughtful enough in his report for Freder- 
icksburg to specify the number present on the field in each regiment of his division. As the 
loss in Hancock's Division, ni its memorable assault on Marye's Heights, was one of the 
severest of the war, it is given here in full. In addition to the official figures, the number of 
killed, as increased by those who died of their wounds, is also given— the number having 
been ascertained by examining the muster-out rolls of each regiment. 

Having the exact number engaged, these casualties are of interest as showing the outside 
limit of loss to which troops are subjected in action. There are on record some higher per- 
centages in cases of individual regiments in certain engagements, but no greater percentage 
in any division.

Nearly all the missing ones were killed or wounded men, who fell in front of the stone 
wall at Marye's Heights. Most of them belong with the killed, and were buried by the 
enemy. The number engaged may appear small ; but it should be remembered that this 
division had alreadv lost 3,290 men on the Peninsula and at Antietam.

It may bo of intei-est to know the maximum of percentage, as based on the total of 
killed, tvowided, and missing, instead of on the killed and mortally wounded alone. Such 
percentages, however, are apt to be unsatisfactory, as the missing includes the captured men. 
In the following table the missing are mostly, if not all, killed or wounded men.

There are other instances which deserve a place in the preceding list, but are omitted as 
it is impossible to ascertain definitely the number of men engaged. 

It is well to pause here, and considei; what these figures mean ; to think of what such 
extraordinary percentages imply. Perhaps their significance will be better understood when 
compared with some extraordinary loss in foreign wars ; some well known instance whicli 
may serve as a standard of measurement. Take the charge of the Light Brigade at Balaklava. 
Its extraordinary loss has been made a familiar feature of heroic verse and story in every land, 
until the whole world has lieard of tlie gallant Six Hundred and their ride into the VaUey of 
Death. Now, as tlie Light Brigade accomplished nothing in this action, — merely executed 
an order which was a blunder,— it must be that it was the danger and its attendant loss which 
inspired the interest in that historic ride. What was the loss ? The Light Brigade took 673 
officers and men into that charge ; they lost 113 killed and 134 wounded ; total, 247, or 36.7 
per cent.§ 

The heaviest loss in the German Army during the Franco-Prassian war occurred in the 
Sixteenth Infantry (Third Westphalian), at Mars La Tour. Like all German regiments of the 
line it numbered 3,006 men. As this battle was the first in which it was engaged,— occurring 
within a few days of the opening of the campaign,— it carried 3,000 men into action. It lost 
509 killed and mortally wounded, G19 wounded, and 365 missing !| ; total, 1484, or 49.4 per 
cent. The Garde-Schutzen Battahon, 1,000 strong, lost at Metz, August ISth, 162 killed and 
mortally wounded, 294 wounded, and 5 missing ; total, 461, or 46.1 per cent. 

A comparison of these percentages with those of the Union regiments in certain battles 
just cited will give some idea of the desperate character of the fighting during the American 
Civil War.

CHAPTER IV. 



LOSS IN OFFICERS — LIST OF GENERALS KILLED — SURGEONS AND 
CHAPLAINS KILLED. 

' I ''HE loss in officers killed or wounded, in pi-opovtion to tlieir number, was in excess of 
that of their men. Of the total number killed and wounded during the war, there were 
6,365 officers, and 103,705 enlisted men ; or, one officer to 10 men. In the common regi- 
mental organization there was one officer to 28 men ; and this proportion would have conse- 
quently required only one officer to 28 men among the killed. The loss of officers, however, 
was not so excessive as the difference in these ratios would indicate ; for, as the ranks 
became depleted the latter proportion was not maintained. In tlie Army of the Potomac, 
just before starting on the Wilderness campaign, the morning reports showed one officer to 
every 21 men "present for duty, equipped."' As this latter pn)portion was a frequent one,* 
it may be assumed that the difference between it and the actual ratio in the killed indicates 
fairly the excess of the loss in officers. 

At Gettysburg, the officers lost 27 per cent, in killed and wounded, while the enlisted men 
lost 21 per cent., — as based on the number engaged. At Shiloh, the loss in officers killed 
and wounded was 21.3 per cent., and in men 17.9 per cent., — as based on the morning 
reports of Grant's six divisions. 

This greater loss among the officers did not occur because they were so much braver than 
the men in the ranks, but because the duties of their position while under fire involved a 
greater personal exposure. Sharpshooters were always on the alert to pick them off ; and, 
even in the confusion of a hot musketry fire, any soldier, no matter how poor a marksman, 
would turn his rifle on any conspicuous man iu the opposing lanks whose appearance indicated 
that he might be an officer. In close quarters, guns were not apt to be aimed at privates if a 
Lieutenant was in sight near by. There was just as good stuff in the ranks as in the line ; 
in fact, the Une officers were recruited almost entirely from the ranks ; but when the 
gallant private donned an' officer's uniform, he found his chances not at all improved, to 
say the least. 

This additional exposure is well illustrated by a comparison of the casualties at Gettj's- 
burg with those of the Wilderness. In the first named battle the percentage of loss among 
the officers was one-half greater than in the latter. At GettysV)urg, the fighting was done 
in open fields, where the officers were in full view ; at the Wilderness, the fighting was 
done in dense thickets Avhich concealed the opposing armies. In the latter, botli officers 
and men were hidden by the leafy screens, and hence their casualty hsts show a like per- 
centage of loss. 

In the Franco-Prussian war there was a remarkable excess of loss among the German 
officers. The percentages of killed and mortallj- wounded in the entire German army were : 
Euhsted men, 3.1 ; Line officers, 8.0 ; Staff officers, 9.G. 

• Exactly the same proportion — one oBBcer to 21 men of the " present for duty, equipped "— appears in the momins reports of Gen. Grant's 
army at Shiloh ; of the Peninsular Ai-niy in the Seven Days' Battle ; of Sherman's armies in the Atlanta campaign ; and in several other 
instances. Tlie variations, in general, were few and slight. 

(38) 



Maximum of Officers Killed. ?,9 

The largest number of officers killed in any infautiy regiment in the Union Armies is 
found in the Sixty-first Pennsylvania, of tlie Sixth Corps, in whicli 10 officers Avere killed or 
mortally wounded during the war. Among the number were three colonels : Col. Rippey 
was killed at Fair Oaks ; Col. Spear fell while leading a successful assault on Marye's Heights; 
and Col. Crosby, who had lost an arm at Fort Stevens, was killed in the final and victorious 
assault on Petersburg. The total loss of the Sixty-first in killed and died of wounds, was 111 
officers and 218 enhsted men ; total, i':^:. It was a gallant regiment and was bravely led, as 
its loss in officers clearly shows. 

The foUoAA-ing list embraces e%'ery regiment which lost 10 or more officers killed during 
the war :

A heavy artillery regiment had just twice as many line officers as an infantry regiment. 

The largest regimental loss of officers killed in any one battle, occurred in the Seventh 
New Hampshire at the assault on Fort Wagner, the regiment losing 11 officers killed or 
mortally wounded in that bloody affair. Among the killed was Col. Putnam, who fell after 
he had "gained an entrance within the outer works of the fort. He was a graduate of West 
Point and an officer of the Regular Army ; hke many other Regular officers he had received 
permission to accept the command of a volunteer regiment. 

The Twenty-second New York Infantry lost at Manassas 19 officers killed and wounded 
out of 24 present in action ; 9 of them were killed, among whom was the Lieutenant-Colonel, 
Gorton T. Thomas. 

The following list includes every infantry regiment in the service which lost 8 or more 
officei-s killed in any one engagement :

In addition, mention shoukl be made of the loss of officers in the hea\y artillery at 
certain battles. The First Maine H. A. lost VI officers, killed or wounded, at Spotsylvania, 
May 19th, of whom 6 were killed or mortally wounded ; and at Petersburg, June 18th, the 
same regiment lost 32 officers, killed or wounded, of whom 10 lost their lives. In the Eighth 
New York Heavy Artillery, U officers were killed at Cold Harbor. But the large number of 
extra officers allowed these I'egiments will not a<lmit of their classification with the infantry 
regiments just mentioned. 

There is a remarkable difference between the loss of officers in battle and by disease, as 
compared Avith that of the enU.sted men. In battle, one officer was killed for every 16 enlisted 
men ; but, among the deaths from disease, one officer died to every 72 men, and in the coloi-ed 
regiments, one officer to every 215 men. The officers had better facilities for purchasing food, 
and were furnished with better quarters while in camp ; but in an active campaign, in bivouac 
or on the march, they encountered substantially the same exposure and privation ; they were 
exposed to the same storms and tlaeir food was equally scanty. There was not enough of 
difference in the fare to account for this remarkable difference in the death-rate. It might 
account for some of it, but for the greater part the reason must be looked for elsewhere. 

The general officers never hesitated in time of battle to share the danger with the men 
whenever it became necessary. The gallantry with which they were wont to expose them- 
selves is fully evidenced by the long list of those M^ho were killed.

Eegimental Losses in the Civil War. 



There were 35 general officers who died of disease during the war. Among them were 
several prominent and able officers — Generals Sumner, C. F. Smith, Biruey, Mitchel, Welsh, 
Buford, Corcoran, Ransom, Crocker, and other noted generals. 

A large number of brigades were commanded by Colonels, some of whom lield a brigade 
command for a long time, during which tliey displayed marked abihty, but without any 
recognition of their services on the part of the Government.* The list of Brigadiers killed in 
action would convey an erroneous impression as to the losses in that grade, unless accom- 
panied by a supplementary list of the other brigade commanders who also lost their lives 
in battle. 

The following list is composed of Colonels who had been entitisted with brigades, and 
were exercising such commands at the time of their death. They were men of noble spirits, 
intrepid soldiers, whose gallantry and ability had won the admii-ation and respect of all.

In each regiment there were officers whose duties did not require that they should go 
into action — the Chaplain, the Quartermaster, and the Surgeons. Although they had no 
tactical position in the line of battle, there was a loss of life among their number which 
entitles them to some other place in the records of the war than that of mere non-combatants. 
Many of them waived tlieir exemption from danger, and gallantly volunteered for service in 
the field ; while others — the surgeons, for instance — attended calmly to the performance of 
their duties amid perils which would test the stoutest heart. 

Though the surgeons seldom took an active ])art in a battle, they were required to be 
near, and much of the time were under fire. Some of them went on the field with their regi- 
ments in order to render timely aid ; others were stationed near by at some field hospital, 
where they often found themselves exposed to serious danger. During the war, 40 Surgeons 
were killed and 73 wounded while bravely attending to their duties on the battle field. They 
had not the excitement of the fight to dull their sense of danger ; they had not the incentive 
of promotion ; they were not spurred by ambitious hopes ; victory might bring laurels to 
others, but not to them ; they met tlieir fate, actuated and sustained by no other impulse 
than the sense of duty. 

Many Surgeons died from disease while in the service, and their names also lengthen the 
Roll of Honor. A record of these patriots, — their names and regiments, and the battles in 
which they lost their lives, — appears in the Medical and Surgical History of the war. 

Several Uves were also lost among the Quartermasters, some of them having been killed 
while serving as volunteer aids, while others fell while attending to the duties of. their 
position when under fire. Among the first to scale the heights of Missionary Ridge was a 
Quartermaster-Sergeant of a Michigan regiment, who had borrowed a gun and volunteered 
for the fight. 

It will, doubtless, be a surprise to many to note the number of Chaplains killed in battle. 
These gallant members of the Church Militant were wont to take a more active part in the 
fighting than has been generally credited to them. They were frequently seen in the thickest 
of the fight, some of them handling a rifle with the skill of a marksman, while others, 
unarmed, would move about among their men encouraging them to do their best. 

Among the Chaplains killed in action, there were :

44 Regimental Losses ix the C!ivil Wah. 

In addition, there were several who lost their lives by the diseases incident to the hard- 
ship and exposure of a soldier's life. 

Chaplain Fuller, of the Sixteenth Massachusetts, had resigned from the service and had 
just received his discharge, when he learned that his regiment was about to go into action, at 
Fredericksburg. Crossing the liver in the boats with the forlorn hope, he joined the skir- 
mishers of the Nineteenth Massachusetts, who were then fighting their way through the 
streets. He fell dead, rifle in hand, in front of a groceij' store on Carohne Street. 

Springer, of the Third Wisconsin, fell mortally wounded at Resaca, after having "seized 
a musket " and fought for four hours in the " hottest of the fight." * 

Howell, of the Ninetieth Pennsylvania, was shot at Gettysburg during the retreat through 
the town, and died on the steps of a church. 

Butler was killed at the Siege of Suffolk, while carrying water to some wounded men. 

Bartlett, of the First Maine Cavalry, was killed at Cold Harbor. He was struck in the 
breast by a shell and ' ' literally blown to pieces. " 

Benton fell at New Berne, and General Reno states in his ofificial report that he "was 
killed while nobly encouraging the men to do their duty." 

Eddy, of the Seventy-second Indiana, fell at Hoover's Gap, Tenn., stnickby a cannon ball. 

Of Chaplain Ambrose, who was killed in the trenches at Petersburg, the i-egimeutal 
historian says that " a braver man never lived ; a truer man never wore the garb of 
Christianity." 

At Resaca, among the Confederate dead which lay so thickly in front of the Twenty- 
seventh Indiana, was a family group : a gray-haired Chaplain and his two sons. 

The official repoi'ts make frequent mention of Chaplains whose gallantry and zeal had 
attracted the notice of their general. In the ChancellorsviHe reports. General Berdan, 
commander of the famous Sharpshooters, states that " Chaplain Barter, of the Second Regi- 
ment, took a rifle and went in with the skirmishers, with his usual bravery." 

At Antietam, Gen. J. R. Brooke mentions in his report " the brave Chaplain of the Sixty 
-sixth New York, Rev. Mr. Dwight, who was constantlv in the field, in tha thickest of the 
flght." 

Gen. Giles A. Smith, in his report of the battle of Atlanta (July 22d), states that Chaplain 
Bennett, of the Thirty-second Ohio, "carried liis musket and fought all day in the ranks, 
which I learn is his custom on all such occasions." 

The officers of a brigade petitioned that Chaplain H. C. Trumbull, of the Tenth Connec- 
ticut, be brevetted a Major ; stating that, " always at his post in time of danger, he has, 
on two occasions at least, displayed marked and conspicuous gallantry ; dashing into the 
thickest of the fight to rally and encourage the wavering line." Gen. Terry forwarded the 
paper v^ith the endorsement: "No officer of his regiment has displayed more gallantry in 
action, or done more to animate the men to do their duty." 

Aside from such notices, these men have not ret;eived the recognition due their services, 
but lack of space forbids further mention here. 

Many of the Chaplains had served in the ranks as enUsted men prior to their appoint- 
ment. They were regularly ordained clergymen, whose patriotic zeal had impelled them to 
exchange their pulpits for the camp ; so, when a vacancy occurred in the chaplaiucy of a 
regiment to which any such belonged, the Colonel was very apt to recommend the clerical 
musket-bearer, whose gallantry perhaps had already attracted his attention. 

In this connection, mention should also be made of the many clergymen who left their 
pastoral duties to accept commissions in the aimy, some of whom held regimental or bi-igade 
commands. Among the brigade commanders killed at Cold Harbor was the Rev. Jeremiah 

• Love ; Wlscousiu in the War. 



Musicians. +5 

C. Drake, Colonel of the One Hundred and Twelfth New York, an officer conspicuous for 
gallant and meritorious service on many occasions. A similar instance is found in the Con- 
federate Army in the case of Bishop Polk, a corps-general, who fell while on the Atlanta 
campaign. 

The musicians formed a numerous class among the non combatants. Although their 
legitimate duty in time of battle was confined to that of stretcher-bearers, they often partic- 
ipated in the fighting. At Shiloh, the band of the Forty-eighth Ohio laid aside their instru- 
ments, procured rifles, and went into the fight, where two of their number were killed.* Still, 
it must be confessed that the dead drummer-boy was not so common a feature on the field as 
might be inferred from the work of battle-field artists. 

The frequent loss of life among the stretcher-bearers attests the faithful work of the men 
employed in that duty, most of whom were musicians. At the battle of the Weldon Railroad, 
the ambulance train of the Fifth Corps lost •! sergeants killed and 6 stretcher-men wounded : 
8 horses were killed, and shells passed through two of the ambulances. This was not an 
uncommon experience.

CHAPTER V. 



CASUALTIES COMPARED WITH THOSE UF EUROPEAN WARS — LOSS IN EACH 
ARM OF THE SERVICE — DEATHS FROM DISEASE — CLASSIFICATION OF 
DEATHS BY CAUSES. 

TT WAS the greatest war of the century. On the Union side alone, lHi,07(t men were 

kiUed in battle, while 249,458 more died from disease, accidents, m nulitary prisons, or 
from other causes. Including both sides, over half a million lives were lost. There have 
been wars which have lasted longer — wars with intermittent and desultory cami)aigns ; but, 
in this struggle the two armies for four years never let go their clutch upon each other's 
throat. For four years the echo of the picket's rifle never ceased. 

It is hard to realize the meaning of the figures, 110,070 inen killed : and that, on one side 
only. It is easy to imagine one man killed ; or ten men kiUed ; or, perhaps, a score of men 
killed. With some effort of the mind one can picture a hundred nieu stretched, lifeless and 
bloody on the ground. The veteran recalls, as if in a dream, the sight of many more lying 
on some battle field ; but even he is unable to comprehend the dire meaning of the one 
hundred thousand, whose every unit represents a soldier's bloody grave. 

The figures are too large. They will be better understood, however, and a more intelli- 
gent idea will be formed if they are comi)ared with the losses of other wars. A better idea 
will also be obtained of the great struggle which occurred within our own borders, and with 
it will come a fuller recognition of American manhood. 

The Franco-Prussian war of 1870-71 was one of the greatest of European wars. Larger 
armies were never assembled. The Germans took 797,050 men into France. Of this number. 
28,277' were killed, or died of wounds — a loss of 3.1 per cent. In the Crimean war, the allied 
armies lost 3.2 per cent, in killed, or deaths from wounds. In the war of 1866, the Austrian 
army lost 2.6 percent, from the same cause. But, in the American Civil War the Union 
Armies lost 4.7 per cent., and the Confederates over 9 per cent.; and this despite the greater 
area of country, which required a large share of the troops to protect the lines of communi- 
cation. There are no figures on record to show that, even in the Napoleonic wars, there was 
ever a greater percentage of loss vi killed. In fact, all the statistics pertaining to the earlier 
wars of the century are loosely stated, and bear on their face a lack of accuracy. The histo- 
rians of that period give all battle losses in round numbers, the killed, wounded, missing, and 
l)risoners being lumped together in one amount. Each writer treats the casualties as an 
unimportant y)art of his story, and seems to have made no effort to arrive at anything like an 
accurate or classified statement. Perhaps, the facts were not attainable and the historians 
were obhged to accept the wild, exaggerated stories of which there are always a plenty, and 
which soon crowd out of sight the truthful narratives. 

The two great battles of the age, in point of loss, are XN^itorloo and Gettysburg. Between 
them there is a remarkable similarity, both in numbers engaged and extent of casualties. 

(-16) 



Casualties at {jtettysbukg Compakeu with European Battles. 47 

At Waterloo, the French numbered 80,000 men, and 252 guns ;* the AlHes numbered 72,000 
men, and 186 guns. At Gettysburg, the Union Army numbered 82,000 men, and 300 
guns;t the Confederates, 70,000 men, and 250 guns.§ At Waterloo, Wellington's army 
lost 23,185 ; at Gettysburg, Meade's army lost 23,003. The loss of the French at 
Waterloo has never been officially announced, but has been estimated at 26,300 ; the Confed- 
erate loss at Gettysburg, as officially reported by the Confederate Surgeon-General, was 
20,448, to which must be added 7,077 wounded and unwoimded prisoners whose names were 
omitted from his lists, but whose names appear on the records at Washington. In short, the 
battles of Waterloo and Gettysburg were fought with from 70,000 to 82,000 men on each side, 
and the combatants lost about 23,000 men each. 

In the Franco- Prussian war, the gieatest loss occurred at the battle of Gravelotte, where 
the Germans lost 4,449 killed (including the mortally wounded), 15,189 wounded, and 939 
missing; total, 20,577, out of 146,000 troops engaged, exclusive of 65,000 reserves. At Get- 
tysburg, Meade's army sustained a greater loss witli half tlie number engaged. 

It may be suggested that the Franc:o-Prussian war was, comparatively, of brief duration, 
and hence a comjiarison of the aggregate casualties cannot properly be made. But, in the 
American Civil War, during the six months following May 4, 1864, the various Union armies 
sustained a greater loss than the German armies did dui-ing tlie whole Franco-Prussian war. 
The total loss of the German army in that war was 28,277 killed or mortally wounded, 85,482 
wounded, and 14,138 missing; total, 127,897. 

All historians agree that Borodino was the bloodiest battle since the introduction of gun- 
powder. The casualties in that battle have been variously stated : The Encyclopedia Brit- 
tannica puts the Russian loss at 30,000 in killed, wounded, and prisoners, and the French loss 
at " considerably above 20,000." Allison gives the losses at Borodino in round numbers only, 
placing the French loss at 50,000, and the Russian at 45,000. The most credible statement is 
found in the Jomnal of The London Statistical Society, which places the immber of killed 
and wounded in the French army at Borodino at 28,085, out of 133,000 troops present on the 
field. The Russian army numbered 132,000 at that battle, and there is nothing to show that 
its loss was greater than that of its antagonist. Although the number of killed and wounded 
at Borodino was greater, numerically, than at Waterloo and Gettysburg, the percentage of 
loss was very much less. 

The largest armies were marshalled at Leipsic, "the battle of the Nations." On that 
field the allies concentrated 330,000 men •,X Napoleon's army numbered 175,000. The state- 
ments of the casualties as made by various historians are so conflicting, and are so loosely 
stated, that no definite idea of the loss can be obtained. It was greater, probably, than at 
Borodino. 

In the American Civil War, the Union Annies lost 110,070 killed or mortally wounded, 
and 275,175 wounded ; total, 385,245, exclusive of the missing in action whose number has 
not, as yet, been officially stated. Of the 110,070 deaths from battle, 67,058 were killed on 
the field ; the remainder, 43,012, died of their wounds. This loss was divided among the 
different arms of the service as follows : 

* Allison. 

+ The Comte de Paris, in tiis history of the war. estimates that the Union army had only 82,000 actually on the field. Gen. Meade's monthly 
return of June 30th, shows 09,131 " Present for duty, equipped." Still, in view of the constant discrepancy between the number reported by 
Union regiments as " present for duty," and the number reported by them as taken into action, the estimate of the Oomte de Paris maybe 
assumed to be substantially correct. It .s very doubtful if Meade had over 82,000 men on the field, including the Sixth Corps, which was in 
resen-e. Historians vary as to the numbers engiigfd at Waterloo. 

i At the first day's battle there were •>75,000 present. 

IGeneral Lee had about 60,000 men at Gettysburg, [resent in actio; . lli.s cavalry were abseut.

The total number of men enrolled during the four years of the war was 2,772,408. But 
a large proportion of them enlisted for ninety days, six months, one year, or two years, and 
reentered the service upon the expiration of their term of enlistment. Thus, the names of 
many soldiers appear two or more times upon the rolls, and in different regiments. Reduced 
to a three yeai's' standard of enlistment, the total enrollment of the Union Army would equal 
2,320,272 men. Using this asa basis for computation, the following percentages are obtained :

The number of deaths from disease ^\-as remarkable, being more than double the number 
from battle. Without including the deaths in Confederate prisons, or those caused b}^ acci- 
dents, drowning, sunstrokes, suicides, executions, murders, or otiier causes, there were 199,- 
720 of the Unicjn Army who died of disease — in camp, in hospitals, or at home — before their 
term of enlistment had expired. Pai"t of this extraf)rdinary loss was due to the seveiity of 
the campaigns. The extent of territoi'y marched over was immense ; some of the campaigns 
were made under a tropical sun, and some of the battles were fought amid the snows of 
winter. The Ninth Corps fought on the Carolina Coast, and then moved a thousand miles 
westward to the fever-smitten camps at Vicksburg. The Twelfth Corps, after fighting for 
two years in Virginia, moved to Tennessee, from whence it fought its way through Georgia 
to Atlanta ; mai'ched from Atlanta to the Sea, and thence northward to its old battle grounds, 
having encircled half a continent. Men from the woods of Maine encamped two thousand 
miles distant along the bayous of Louisiana. Men from the prairies of the Northwest toiled 
and battled among the eveiglades of Florida, and along the Gulf. Human endurance was 
often tested to its utmost, and the restless, moving armies left in their wake a line of count- 
less graves. 

And, yet, some of the greatest losses liy disease ttcciured in regiments that were not sub- 
jected to the exposure of active service ; regiments, which pei-formed garrison duty only, 
and were provided with comfortable quarters and gxjod food. The greatest loss by disease 
occurred in some black regiments w-hich were doing garrison duty, and were stationed in the 
same district from which they had been recruited and where they had lived all their lives. 
Then, again, certain regiments ajuong tlie white troops suffered from disease, unaccountably, 
more tlian others. The Vermont Brigade, wliile encamped in Virginia, in 1801, lost scores of 
men by disease, w^hile the regiments in adjoining cami)s were entirely exempt ; and, yet, these 
Vermonters excelled in physique, cleanliness and intelligence. 

The most striking feature of the mortuary statistics is that the regiments which incurred 
the greatest loss in battle are the ones which suffered least from disease. While, throughout 
the whole army, the deaths from disease were double those from bullets, the hard fighting 
regiments seldom lost even a like numljer. One-fifth of the deaths from disease occurred in 
regiments that never were in battle. 

In connection with this matter one must bear in mind, also, the ratio of mortality in civil 
life. Assuming the average age of the soldiers to be 2T years, the tables of the Life Insurance 
Actuaries i)idicate that three-fourths of the deaths from disease were due to the exposure of a 



50 Kegimkntal J^ossks in the Civil, Wah. 

soldier's life ; and that the remainder -would JiaAe occuitimI, just the same, if the men had 
remained at home. 

Of those who died from disease, one-fourth died of fever, principally tyjihoid ; one-fourth 
died of diarrhea, or other forms of howel complaint ; nearly one-fourth died from inflamma- 
tion of the lungs, or consumption, principally the former ; the remaining fourth died of 
small-pox, measles, hrain disease, erysipelas, and the various forms of disease common to the 
masses. 

The deaths in the Union Army, from all causes, as officially classified were as follows :

The deaths from accidents weie caused, principally, hy the careless us(; of fire-arms, 
explosions of ammunition, and railway accidents ; in the cavalry service, a large number of 
accidental deaths resulted from poor horsemanship. 

The number of the drowned may seem large, but the average is less than three men to a 
regiment. This loss was occasioned largely by bathing and boating. At times, some regi- 
ment would sustain a larger loss while fording rivers, or landing from small boats in the surf. 
The Seventy-fifth Pennsylvania, while crossing the Shenandoah, in April, 1802, lost 2 officers 
and 51 men, drowned by the swamping of a scow. 

Of the Union soldiers confined in Confederate prisons, 24,866 died of disease, exclusive of 
2,072 who died of wounds while in the enemy's hands, and 3,218 others who died from various 
causes, known and unknown. As to what proportion of these 24,8(i0 deaths was due to harsh 
treatment, instead of -disease, it would be difficult to say. In the Northern military prisons, 
where the inmates were furnished with good food and quarters, the death rate was nearly the 
same; 30,152 Confederates died in Northern prisons.f But these pages have nothing to do 
with the prison question other than the statistics.

The principal place of conftneinent for Union soldiers was at Andersonville, Ga. Out of 
i5,t}13 prisoners confined there, 1-2,\)V2 died — or, 28 per cent. The greatest number present at 
any time was 33,114 — on August «, 1804. The greate.st number of deaths in any one day was 
127 — on August 23, 1.S04. The daily average of deaths was 2U.^. 

The largest military prison in the North was located at Elmira, N. Y. As at Anderson- 
ville, it consisted of an open stockade or jn-ison jx'u. In it were confined 11.910 prisoners, of 
whom 2,004 died, or 2.5 per rent. The greatest mortality occurred in Maich, 1«65, in whicli

CHAPTER VI. 



THE COLORED TROOPS — HISTORY OF THEIR ORGANIZATION — THEIR LOSSES 
IN BATTLE AND BY DISEASE. 

■yX/^HEREVER black regiments were engaged in battle during the Civil War, they acquitted 
themselves in a manner which fully justified the policy of the Government in enlisting 
their services. In the future wars of the Republic the colored American will find himself 
entrusted with his full share of the fighting. 

And yet, the war for the Union was not the first one in which the African fought for the 
Stars and Stripes. Black faces were not uncommon among the ranks of the patriots in 1776. 
The first man to fall in that straggle was the negro* who led the mob in its attack on the 
British troops at the Boston Massacre. At Bunker Hill, the free negroes fought intermingled 
with the whites ; and, when Major Pitcairn was killed, it was l)y a bullet from a negro's rifle. 
At the battle of Rhode Island, Colonel Greene's black legiment repulsed three successive 
charges, during which they handled a Hessian regiment severely.f In the war of 1812, Gen- 
eral Jackson issued a proclamation authorizing the formation of black regiments, and, subse- 
quently, in an address to the colored troops thus enlisted, acknowledged their services in 
unstinted praise. 

But, at the time of the Civil War the negro was closely associated in the public mind with 
the political causes of the strife. The prejudice and opposition against the use of colored 
troops was so strong that the war was half finished before they were organized to any 
extent. 

The fii-st appearance of the negro in the military operations of that period occurred, 
September, 1862, in Cincinnati, at the time of the threatened invasion by Morgan's raiders. 
A so-called Black Brigade of three regiments was then organized, and assigned to duty in 
constructing the fortifications and earthworks about Cincinnati. These men gave their 
services voluntarily, but were unarmed and ^\ ithout unifoi-ms. Their organization, such as 
it was, existed for three weeks only, and had no connection with the movement for enlisting 
colored troops. 

About this same time General Butler took the initiative in the enlistment of colored men as 
soldiers, by organizing at new Orleans the regiments known as the Louisiana Native Guards, 
one of which completed its organization in August, 180:2, and was nuistered into service on 
the 27th of the following month. It was designated the First Louisiana Native Guard, and 
was the first black regiment to join the Union Army. The Second Louisiana Native Guaiti

was mustered in, Octobei- lL>, ISf.ii ; the Third, oil November 24, 1802. The other regmients 
of the Guard, or Corps d'Afriijue as it was called, completed thcdr orgauizatious within a few 
months later. 

At this time, also, in August, 1SC2, recruiting for a colored regiment was commenced in 
Kansas, and over tiOO men were soon nmstered in. The regiment, however, was not mustered 
into the United States service until January 13, 18G3. It was then. designated the First 
Kansas Colored A'olunteers, but its name was changed, in December, 1864, to the T^th United 
States Colored Infantry. 

Recruiting for a black regiment had, also, been undertaken in South Carolina by Genei-al 
Hunter, and an officer, Sergeant C. T. Trowbridge, had been detailed for that purpose as early 
as May 7, 1862. The recruiting progressed slowly, and was attended with so many difficulties 
and discouragements that a complete regimental organization was not effected until Jan. 31, 
18G3. Some of the companies, however, were oi-ganized at an earlier date. Colonel T. W. 
Higginsou was assigned to the command of this regiment, his commission dating back to 
November 10, 1862. Trowbridge was made Captain of the first company organized, and sub- 
sequently promoted to the Lieutenant-Colonelcy. This regiment, First South Carolina, was the 
first slave regiment organized, the Louisiana Native Guard having been recruited largely from 
free blacks. The designation of the First South Carolina was changed by the War Depart- 
ment, in February, 1864, to Thirtj^-third United States Colored Infantry. 

Recruiting for the Fifty-fourth Massachusetts conmienced in February, 1863, and its ten 
companies were full by May. It was the first coloi'ed regiment raised in a Northern State, 
the First Kansas having been I'eci-uited largely in Missouri, and partly from enslaved blacks. 
The Fifty-fourth was composed mostly of free men, and its recruits came from all the North- 
ern States, it being their first opportunity to enlist. 

By this time the movement had become general, and before the war closed the colored 
troops embraced 145 regiments of infantry, 7 of cavalry, 12 of heavy artillery, 1 of light 
artillery, and 1 of engineers ; total, 166. Of these, about 60 were brought iuto action on the 
battle f^eld, the others having been assigned to post or garrison duty. 

Of the regiments brought into action, only a few were engaged in more tlian one battle ; 
the war was half over, and so the total of killed does not appear as great as it otherwise would 
have done. The total number killed or mortally woundetl in the colored troops was 143 
officers, and 2,7ol me)i. Tlie officers were whites. Though participating only in the latter 
campaigns of the war, the black regiments made a noble record, and if, at times, they failed 
to win victories, it was through no fault of theirs. 

The first action in which colored ti'oops were engaged was an affair at Island Mounds, 
Mo., October 28, 1862, in which a detachment of the First Kansas was attacked by a superior 
number of Confederates under connnand of Colonel Cockerel. Although outnumbered, they 
made a successful resista)ice and scored a victory. Their loss was 10 killed, including a Cap- 
tain, and 12 wounded. The First Kansas, also, lost 16 men killed on May 18, 1863, in a minor 
engagement at Sherwood, Mo. 

In the i.ssault on Port Hudson, La., May 27, 1863, colored troops were used r the first 
time in a general engagement. The Nineteenth Army Corps, during its besiegement of that 
stronghold, included several colored regiments in its organization. There were the First and 
Third Louisiana Native Guai-ds ; The First Louisiana Engineers, Corps d'Afrique ; and, the 
Sixth, Seventh, Eighth, Ninth and Tenth Infantry, Corps d'Afrique. During the siege the 
Fii-st Louisiana Native Guards lost 2 officers and 32 men killed, and 3 officers and 92 men 
wounded (including the mortally wounded); total. 129. But few regiments in the Nineteenth 
Corps sustained a greater loss. The other regiments of the Cori)s d' Africiue were actively 
engaged, but with fewer casualties. The First Louisiana Native Guard was attached to

54 Regimental Losses in the Civil War. 

Augur's (1st) Division, and participated in the assaults of May 2Tth and June 14th, in Avhicli 
its principal loss occurred, its dead lying among those nearest the enemy's works. This 
regiment should not he confounded with the First Louisiana Infantry, also of Augur's Division, 
— a white regiment which, also, sustained a severe loss at Port Hudson! 

On June 7th, lS(i3, the colored troops composing the garrison at MiUiken's Bend, La., 
wei-e attacked hy Walkei-'s Division numbering 3,000 men. The garrison consisted of tln-ee 
colored regiments : the Ninth Louisiana, Eleventh Louisiana, and First Mississippi, In addi- 
tion there were 2oi) men of the 23d Iowa Uvhite} who had been escorting prisoners up the 
river, and were on their return to the front. The regiments were small, many of the men, 
and most of the officers, being absent on recaiiting service or other duty. When attacked 
the garrison was driven back to the river, whei'e two gunboats came to their assistance. The 
troops then made a counter charge, regaining possession of their works and capturing several 
pi'isoners. The lighting was desperate in the extreme, many of the combatants on each side 
falling by bayonet thrusts or blows from clubbed muskets. The loss, as officially stated l)y 
the Assistant Secretary of War, who was then at Vicksburg, amounted to :

With the wounded ai'e included those who Avcn'e mortally wounded. Captain Miller, of 
the Ninth Louisiana, ••■ states that his regiment had oidy 300 men engaged, and that the whole 
foi'ce of the garrison was about COO men. 

The next action in which colored trooj^s were engaged was the grand assault on Fort 
Wagner, July IS, 1863. To the 54th Massachusetts Colored was assigned the honor of leading 
the attack, and after the troops were formed on the beach, ready for the assault, the order to 
advance was withheld until the Fifty-fourth could march by and take position at the head of 
the column. The assault failed ; but, not until the Colonel of the Fifty-fourth and many of 
his men had fallen dead on the jjarapet, or within the fort. The loss of the regiment in this 
affair was — 3 officers and 31 men killed, 11 officers and 135 men wounded (including those 
mortally so ), and 92 men missing ; total, 272 — ■ out of 650 engaged. An impression has gained 
ground that no quarter Avas given to black troops ; and, that the 92 missing or captured men 
met their death in the fort, after they had surrendered. But the official records show that 49 
of these men died of disease in Confederate prisons, and that others of the captured men 
retui-ned at the close of the war, rejoining their legiment before its muster-out. 

One of the severest regimental losses during the war, occurred in the Eighth United States 
Colored Infantry, at the battle of Olustee, Fla., February 20, 1864. It lost there 2 officers and 
49 men killed, 9 officers and 180 men wounded, and 63 missing ; total, 303. Tlie missing ones 
were, mostly, dead or wounded men who were left on the field ; for, in this action the Con- 
federates held possession of the ground, General Seymour's forces being obliged to retreat. 
Colonel Fi-ibley of the Eighth was among the killed. The number of the killed was increased 
to 87 by those who died of wounds, and certain ones who Avere erroneously included with the 
missing. This same regiment distinguished itself, also, at Chaffin's Farm.

Ferrkro's Division at the Battle of The Mine. 55 

Petersburg, June 15, 186+, Hinks' Division achieved a brilliant success, captui'ing the line of 
works in its f lont, and seven pieces of artillery. Had the Army of the Potomac arrived in 
time to follow up the success of the colored troops, Petersbm'g would have been taken then ; 
but, by the time that the Eighteenth corps was reenforced. Lee's army had hurried thither by 
rail and were fihng into the intrenchments. The oi)portunity was gone. In this assault of 
June 15th, the casualty lists show tliat the temporary success of the Colored Division was 
dearly obtained. Among tlie heavier losses were :

•1th U. S. Colored Infantry - 15 

23d U. S. Colored Infantry 14 

The first opportunity to go into action granted Ferrero's Division, was at the Mine Explo- 
sion, or battle of The Crater, at Petersburg, July 30, 1804. This division was selected to lead 
the assault ; but, at the last moment, the order was changed and it was sent in last. It was 
not ordered forward until the assault was a bloody failure, and although it did all that men 
could do, it was unable to retrieve the disaster. This change of plan relieved the colored 
regiments of all responsibilty for that defeat. Still, they fought bravely, and held their 
ground under the most discouraging circumstances. How well they stood is attested by 
their terrible losses.

Eegimental Losses in the Civ^il AVar. 



The Sixth had only 367 officers and men engaged, its loss being over 57 per cent. The 
troops in Paine's Division were the same ones which carried the works at Petersburg, June 
15, 1864. 

In the action on the Darbytown Eoad, Va., October 27, 1864, the Twenty-ninth Connecti- 
cut (colored) distinguished itself by the efficiency with which it held a skirmish hue for 
several hours, under a strong pressure. Loss, 11 killed and 69 wounded. 

Two brigades of colored troops participated in the victory at Nashville, December 15, 
1864. The heaviest loss in any regiment on that field occin-red in the Thirteenth U. S. Colored

CHAPTER VII. 



MUSTER-OUT-ROLLS — ANTHROPOLOGICAL STATISTICS. 

'TpHE statistics presented in tliese pages are based largely on a personal examination of the 
-*■ muster-out-rolls of the various regiments. When a regiment was mustered out of 
service at the close of the war, — or at the expiration of its tertii of enlistment, — each com- 
pany in the organization was required to hand in a muster-out-roll 'bearing tlie names of every 
man wlio, at any time, had served in it. The rolls, which were furnished in blank for this 
purpose, were large sheets, nearly one yard squai-e, I'uled and printed witii various headings. 
Each company-roll was made out separately, making ten rolls in all (if in a ten-company 
regiment), with an additional roll for the Field and Staff. 

Opposite each name was Avritten the age of the person ; place of enlistment ; date of 
nmster-in ; and, under the column of "Remarks," statements showing what became of the 
man; — if dead, the cause, date, and place of death. 

These names were grouped under the various headings of : " Present at muster-out ; " 
"Previously discharged;" "Transferred;" "Deserted;" "Killed in action;" "Died of 
wounds ;" and, "Died of disease; "or other causes. Three copies of these rolls, sometimes 
more, were made, one of which was forwarded to the capital of the state to which the regi- 
ment belonged, where it was filed in the office of the state adjutant-general. These regi- 
mental rolls and records may be found carefully preserved among the archives of each state. 
and it is evident that such of them as were properly made will show clearly and accu- 
lately the mortuary losses of the i-egiments to which they pertain. 

The states of Maine, New Hampshire, Vei'mont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connec- 
ticut, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, 
Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa and Kansas have printed and published the muster-out-rolls of 
the regiments which they respectively furnished to tiie L^nion Armies. The name of each 
and e\ ery man who served in these regiments is preserved in print ; the record of his patriotism 
is transmitted, and in time becomes the proudest heir-loom of his family. 

Some of these publications are, necessarily, voluminous. The rolls of the Illinois troops 
fill eight octavos ; the Indiana rolls require eight volumes of similar size ; the names of the 
men in the Massachusetts regiments fill two large quartos of about one thousand pages each ; 
the Pennsylvania rolls,* as printed, cover 7,000 pages. Still, despite the tedious length of these 
rolls, the patient student will be able to compile from them the losses in nearly every regiment. 
The states of New York, Delaware and Maryland have never attached enough value to the 
patriotic services of their troops to publish their muster-out-rolls. f The manuscript rolls of 
the New York regiments are on file at Albany, and the historian must make a pilgrimage 
thither if he would learn anything concerning the heroes who followed the colors of the 
Empire State. 

•History of tho Pennsylvania Volunteers : S. P. Bates. 

+New Yorii pnblislied its muster-in-rolls, a work of little value, as it is merely a list of names with no records attached ; there is nothing in 
il to show that New York ever lost a man iu battle, or that the resimeut-s ever left the State. 

(57) 



6S Regimkntat. Losses ix the Civil Wau. 

Some of the state rolls, both printed and manuscript, are defective ; many of the men 
are unaccounted for, or accounteil for erroneously ; and, for some regiments, the I'olls are 
missing entirely. But, in such cases the different states have perfected their rolls through 
information furnished by tlie War Department at Washington. 

Owing to the liberal policy of the Government in regard to pensions, the friends of 
deceased soldiers have svipplied much of the lacking information in the prosecution of their 
claims. Of course, many of those who were unaccounted for on the rolls had no legal heirs 
to present their claims at the Pension Bureau; men recorded as ''wounded and missing in 
action," and wlio, through lack of family or social ties, disappeared without question or 
remark. But the various state adjutant-generals have been untiring in their efforts to obtain 
information in such cases, and have, for the most part, settled definitely the fate of the 
missing. 

The historian will find in the muster-out-rolls a mine of information valuable and 
necessary to his task. He may have already learned the names of the regiments which were 
present at the battle, and the movements of the brigade, division or corps. But which of these 
regiments did the fighting i Which of them were in reserve, and which of them were in the 
first line ? Which of them led in the assault ? Which ones stood in the breach { 

In these records he Avill find a clear and unequivocal answer. The long column of 
names marked as killed in some particular action tells the story of how well they stood. 
More rolls are searched, and from them he makes a list of regiments whose losses map out 
the points of contact on some field and show plainly where the pressure was heaviest. 

He notes, also, that the records do not warrant the boastfid account of some regimental 
historian, while it refltjcts honor on the gallantry of some command which has hitherto been 
overlooked and uni'ecognized. He notes, again, that some regiment which has figured con- 
spicuously in the official casualty list by reason of its aggregate of losses, did so on account 
of its large number of missing ; and, that of these missing ones few were killed, the i-emainder 
having been captured. He notes, again, on examining some other rolls, that the number of 
killed is large in proportion to the number enrolled, and .^o credits the regiment with a per- 
centage of loss which tells better than any flight of rhetoric how often and how well they 
faced the enemy's fire. 

The story of the muster-out-roll is, at best, but a .sad one. One is carried back to the war 
and surrounded by its sad pictures. In scanning the remarks attached to the names there 
are the ever recurring phrases which recall vividly its thrilling scenes. 

"'Killed, July 3, 1SG3, at Gettysburg;"' and one thinks of Pickett's charge, or other 
incidents of that historic field. 

"Killed, May 3, 1SC3, at Marye's Heights;" and the compiler lays down his pencil to 
dream again of that fierce charge which swept upward over the sloping fields of Fredericksburg. 

" AVouuded and missing. May C, 1S6J-, at the Wilderness," suggests a nameless grave 
nuulccd, if at all, by a Government headstone bearing the short, sad epitaph, " Unknown." 

" Killed at Malvern Hill, July 1, 1S62;" and there rises a picture of an artilleryman 
lying dead at the wheels of his gun. 

" Died of gunshot wound before Atlanta, August 20, 1S(U," tells of some lad who fills a 
grave long miles away from the village church -yard of his Northern home. 

"Wounded at Antietam, September 17, 1S6-2 and died on the amputating table," brings 
up the dire vision of the field-hospital, that ghastly sequel of every battle. 

"Killed at Appomattox, April 9, 1865 ;" and one sees the dead cavahyman. who, falling 
in that closing battle of the War, died with home and victory in sight. 

"Died of sunstroke," recalls the long march, the heavy load, the dust, the heat, and a 
.senseless form lying at the loadside. 



The Story of the Muster-out-Roll. 59 

" Died of fever at Young's Point, Miss.," reminds one of the campaigns in tlie bayous and 
poisonous s-wamps, witli the men falhng in scores before a foe more deadly and remorseless 
tlian the bidlet. 

"Executed on sentence of G. C. M.; shot to death by musketry ;" and one recalls the 
incidents of the most trying of all scenes, a military execution. 

*' Killed on picket, September 15, 1863, on the Rappahannock," suggests the star-lit river, 
the lonely vidette, an echoing shot, and a man dying alone in the darkness. 

And so it goes. There are no war stories that can equal the story of the muster-out-roll. 

And then, there are facts recorded in them which are curious and interesting. Occasion- 
ally the sad record is brightened with something akin to humor ; and, there is much, at times, 
which is readable. Tiie following extracts, taken at random, may give an idea of what one runs 
across in examing these old records. They are copied from the muster-out rolls, manuscript 
and pi-inted, while some are from the rolls appended to regimental histories. If at times the 
sad and the ridiculous are too closely intermingled, it is because the story runs that way, 
reflecting truly the peculiarly intermingled scenes of army life,

(It is hoped that in the heat of action, these officers did not stand upon their dignity and 
insist upon being addressed by their full names. )

Thh'd Indian Guards : — " Lieutenant Redbird Sixkiller ; mustered out May 31, 1865." 
Tlie muster-rolls are provided with a column in which is entered the age of each recruit. 
From the figures in this column it appears that the mean age of all the soldiers was 25 years. 
When classed by ages, the largest class is that of 18 years, from which the classes decrease 
regularly to that of 45 years, beyond which age no enlistment was received. Of 1,012,273 
recorded ages taken from the rolls, there were 133,475 at IS years ; 1K:>,215 at 1!) years, and so 
on. The number at 25 years of age was 46,626 ; and, at 44 years, 16,070.* 

The muster-rolls also state the nativities of the men ; from which it appears that, in 
round numbers, out of 2,000,000 men, three-fourths were native Americans. Of the 500,00(i 
soldiers of foreign birth, Germany furnished 175,000 ; Ireland, 150,000 ; England, 50,000 ; 
British America, 50,000 ; other countries, 75,000. 

The average height of the American soldiers, as sliown by the records of the recruiting 
officers, was 5 feet 8|- inches. The men from Maine, Indiana, Iowa, Missouri and Kentucky, 
were slightly above this figure. The West Virginians averaged 5 feet 9 inches in height. 
The general average would have been greater liad it not included the measurements of recruits 
from 17 to 20 years of age, who evidently had not attained their full stature when their 
measurement was recorded. Out of about 1,000,000 recorded heights of soldiers there were 
3,ol3 who were over 6 feet 3 inches, and among them were some who were over 7 feet.f By 
selecting from the whole Army, there could have been formed regiments and brigades of tall 
men which would have surpassed the famous giant-guards of Frederick the (ireat. 

But tall men proved to be poor material for a long, toilsome campaign. When, after a 
hard, forced march, the captain looked over his company at nightfall to see how many men 
he had with him, the " ponies" who trudged along at the tail of the company were genei'ally 
all there ; it was the head end of the company that was thinned out. 

The records of the weights of the soldiers are iiKomi)lete ; but, such as they are, they 
indicate that the average weight was 143|- pounds. 

The descriptive lists show also the color of hair, from which, it appears that 13 per cent, 
of the soldiers had black hair ; 25 per cent, had dark liair ; 30 per cent., brown hair ; 24 i)er 
cent., light ; 4 per cent., sandy ; 3 per cent., red ; and 1 per cent., gray hair. 



♦Anthropological Statistics of American Soldiers ; by Dr. Benjamin Apthoip Gould. 

t The tallest man for wliose stature the testiniony is complete and unimp6<ifnable. is Captain Van Busl<irls, of tlic Tweuty-seventli Indiana. 
General Silas Colgrove, formerly colonel of tliat regiment writes that he has frequently seen liini meitaured and that his stature was full Siii 
inches, without his shoes, or 209.5 centimeters. General Col^rove adds that he was a brave man, and bore the fatigues of marching as well as 
most men of ordinary stature. 

The shortest man for whom the record is satisfactorily verified wa« a member of the One Hundred and Nmety-sccond Ohio. At the time of 
enlistment he was 34 years old, and 40 inches in height. Colonel F. \V. Butlerfielil. his commanding oflii^er, vouches for the correctness of this 
record. He also assures us that he knew tiie man well ; and, that tlieie was no soldier in liis euiinuand who could emluie a greater atnimnt of 
fatigue and exposure."— i'c. £. A. Coiihl.

Also, that as to color of their eyes, 45 per cent, were blue ; 24 per cent, were gray ; 13 
per cent, were hazel ; 10 per cent were dark ; and 8 per cent were black. 

Also, that in complexion, 60 per cent, were light ; 33 per cent, were dark ; and 7 per cent, 
were medium. 

From statements as to occupation, it appears that 48 per cent, were farmers ; 24 per cent, 
were mechanics ; 16 per cent, were laborers ; 5 per cent, were in commercial pursuits ; 3 per 
cent, were professional men ; 4 per cent, were of miscellaneous vocations.

COEPS OEGANIZATIONS. 



'ITH the record of each regiment given in these pages will be found the division and 
corps to which it belonged. The history of a regiment is so largely identical witli 
that of its corps, that such information serves at once to familiarize the student with the 
part which it played in connection with the war. An excessive loss in action, or an immunity 
from the casualties of battle, requires but little explanation where there is a thorough ac- 
quaintance with the history of the division and corps with which the regiment in question 
was connected. An additional interest, also, attaches to the record of each command as the 
history of its corps is fully understood. 

The corps badges, which were worn by many commands, were first oidered in the spring 
of 18i;;i, an(l were adopted immediately by the Army of the Potomac ; but in the Western 
armies these badges did not appear on the men's caps until 1SG4, and then they were only 
partially adopted. In some corps they were not worn at all. The badges were of various 
shapes and were stamped out of flannel cloth ; in size, they were about an inch and one-half 
across, and were fastened conspicuously on the men's caps. They were of different colors, 
the first division of each corps wearing red badges ; the second, white ; and the third, blue. 
The idea originated in 186-2 in Kearny's Division, in which the soldiers wore a diamond- 
shaped piece of flannel on their Ccxps. 

The corps badges which were most conspicuous during the war, by reason of tlieir general 
use, were: the round or disc-shaped badge of the First Corps; the trefoil, or ace of clults. 
worn by the Second ; the lozenge, or diamond-shaped badge of the Third ; the triangular 
patch of the Fourth ; the Maltese cross, of the Fifth ; the Greek cross, of the Sixth : the 
crescent of the Eleventh ; the stai', of the Twelfth ; and the acorn, of the Fourteenth. 

The various corps were organized, for the most part, with three divisions, each division 
containing three brigades, and each brigade consisting of five regiments, — making 4.") regiments 
of infantry in a corps, to which were added about nine batteries of light artillery. But 
this form was adhered to only as a general rule, and was varied at times to meet temporary 
exigencies. The greatest variation occurred in the brigades, the depletion, at times, of som(> 
regiments making additional ones necessaiy to keep up a proper effective strength. During 
the Atlanta campaign, some brigades in the Fourth and F(^urteenth Corps contained nine 
regiments. Then, again, a corps would have occasionally four divisions, and some divisions 
would have four brigades ; but such cases were exceptional, and gt^ncrally proved to be but 
temporary arrangements. 

In 1803 the cavalry were organized into a corps by themselves : prior to that each corps 
was accompanied by a brigade of cavalry regiments. 

Batt 3 of light artillery, organized in brigades of about five batteries each, wei-e

consisting of five brigades— 21 batteries in all. This Artilleiy Corps of the Army of the 
Potomac was under command of General Henry J. Hunt. 

Prior to tlie adoption of corps oiganizations, the various armies of the Union consisted of 
divisions numbered in the order of their formation. This plan was adhered to in the Western 
armies until December, 1802. The Army of the Ohio containedlseveral divisions, each division 
containing three brigades. But these brigades were numbered without reference to their 
divisions, and hence, in the roster of the Army of Ohio, at Shiloh, we find, for instance, that 
the Fourth Division— Nelson's — was composed of the 10th, I'Jth and u^nd Brigades ; and at 
Perryville, in the Eleventh Division — Sheridan's — the brigades were not the 1st, 2d, and 3d, 
but the 35th, 36th and 37th Brigades. The Army of the Tennessee contained six divisions at 
Shiloh, and the Army of the Mississippi fought at luka without any corps formation. This 
lack of i^roper organization did not last long, and in 1863 the Western armies took the field 
with corps organizations similai- to those whicii General McClellan had instituted in the Army 
of the Potomac, and which were retained during the remainder of the war.

Mountain ; Antietam ; FREDEKicKsBUKci ; FitzHugh'.s Crossing ; Chancellorsville ; Get-

The First Corps, when at its maximum, contained 46 regiments of infantry and 12 bat- 
teries of light ai-tillery. It was organized in March, 1862, with three divisions, — King's, 
McCall's, and Franklin's. General Irwin McDowell was placed in connnand. When Gen- 
eral McCIeUan moved the Army to the Peninsula, in April, 1862, McDowell's corps was left 
in Northern Virginia. Fi-ankliir's Division was ordered, soon after, to the Peninsula, where 
it was used in forming the Sixth Corps, its place in McDowell's command being taken by 
Ricketts' Division. In June, McCall's Division --the famous Pennsylvania Reserves — was 
also sent to the Peninsular Army, but ujjon the return of McCleUan's forces to Washington, 
the Reserves rejoined McDowell, and fought under him at Second Bull Run. During the 
absence of the Army of the Potomac, McDowell was engaged in an active campaign which 
culminated in the battles around Manassas, the first general engagement in which the corps 
participated ; loss, 5'.i5 killed, 2,853 wounded, and 2,021 missing, out of about 18,5oO effective 
men. During the short time in which the army was under Pope, McDowell's Corps was 
officially designated as the Third Corps, Army of Vii-ginia ; but upon General McCleUan's 
restor-ation to command it resumed its former and proper title,— the First Army Corps. 

AViiile on the Maryland campaign tlie Corps was commanded by General Hooker, and 
the divisions by Generals Hatcli, Ricketts and Meade ; it numbered 11,850 men. It was prom- 
inently engaged at South Mountain, and also at Antietam, where it opened the battle, its 
casualties in that engagement amounting to 417 killed, 2,051 wounded and 122 missing. Gen-^ 
eral John F. Reynolds was in command at Fredericksburg, with Doubleday, Gibbon and 
Meade as division generals ; loss, 347 killed, 2,429 wounded, and 561 missing ; total, 3,337. 

After this battle, the division of Pennsylvania Reserves — Meade's (3d) Division — was 
withdrawn from the front, and ordered to Washington that it might rest and recruit. This 
division, in addition to the battles of the First Corps, had served previously on the Peninsula, 
where it had encountered hard fighting and heavy losses. While on the Peninsula, the Re- 
serves were attached to the Fifth Cori)s. When the division rejoined McDowell's Corps, at 
Manassas, it was with depleted ranks which were still further thinned by its subsequent 
battles. After taking ih; dejjartui'e for Washington it never rejoined the First Corps, its

place being taken by a divisiou composed of new troops, — Doubleday's (3d) Division. The 
corps was only slightly engaged at C'hancellorsville, it being held in reserve. 

At Gettysburg, in the battle of the first day, this corps did some of tlie best fighting of 
the war. The division commanders on that field were Wadsworth, Eobinson and Doubleday; 
General Reynolds, who was still in command of the coi'ps, was killed just as he rode on the 
field, and before his trooijs were fairly engaged. General Doubleday succeeded to the com- 
mand, and handled the corps during that actionin aremai'kably able manner. A noteworthy 
feature of that day was tliat the corps, although finally driven from the field by a superior 
force, succeeded in captui'ing, at different times and at different points on the field, parts of 
three brigades of the enemy, — Archer's, Davis', and Iverson's* — taking them in open field 
fighting, where there were none of the usual accessories of breastworks, intrenchments, or 
protection of any kind other than that Avhich the field afforded. The First Corps fought that 
day A\'ith no other protection than the flannel blouses that covered their stout hearts. It con- 
tained 34 regiments of infantry, and 5 batteries of liglit artillery, numbering 9,403 infantry 
"ijresent for duty, equijiped ;" loss, 5tt3 killed, 3,200 wounded and 2,223 missing ; total (5,024, 
out of less than 9,000 in action. Of the missing, a large proportion were killed or wounded. 

Prior to this battle, the roster of the corps had luidorgone considerable change. Eight 
New York regiments liad gone home, their two years term of service having expired; also, one 
nine months regiment from Pennsylvania. These clianges reduced the First and Second 
Divisions to two brigades each. The Pennsylvania Reserves had been replaced by a new divis- 
ion of two brigades, to which Stannard's Vermont Brigade was added just before the battle. 
Stannard's Brigade was composed of nine- months men whose term of service expired just 
after the battle ; three of his regiments took a prominent part in the fightuig of the third 
day, in the repulse of Pickett's charge. 

Gen. John Newton, a division general in the Sixth Corps, was appointed to fill Reynolds' 
place, assuming command during the second day's battle at Gettysburg an appointment 
which appears as an injustice to Doubleday, who had displayed a marked ability in his opera- 
tions of the first day. Newton, however, was one of the ablest generals in the service, and 
was well fitted for so high a command. At Mine Run, his division commanders were 
Cutler, Robinson, and Kenly. This was the last campaign of the First Corps ; foi in March, 
1SG4, the organization was ordered discontinued and transferred to the Fifth Corps, the brigades 
having been consolidated into two divisions, which, under Robinson and Wadsworth, became 
respectively the Second and Fourth Divisions of the Fifth Corps. 

This was an act of gross injustice, and a cruel violation of the corps pride. It was 
entirely unnecessary ; and a serious blunder, instead of an improvement on the army organi- 
zation. f The men were, however, allowed to wear their old First Corps badges, a concession 
highly valued, as they had n)ade the httle flannel discs synonymous with all that was gallant 
and grand in war. 

The corps had contained some exceptionally good material. The division composed of the 
Pennsylvania Reserves had no equal in the Army as a division, while the Iron Bi-igade was 
famous for its hard fighting, its percentage of killed exceedii g that of any other brigade in 
the Armies of the Union. 

It may be well to note that for a short time, a few weeks only, during Pope's campaign. 
General Sigel's troops were also ofiicially designated as the First Corps ; but, it was the 
First Corps, Army of Virginia. Then, again, in November, 1804, a tew months before the 
close of the war, the War Department issued orders for the formation of a new corps to be 
composed of veterans — selected men who had served creditably a full term in their regi-

nients. This corps Avas to be designated the First, with General Hancock in command, 
but the war closed before u corps organization was fully effected, and before any of the nine 
regiments thus raised were ready for the field, leaving the gallant old First in undivided 
possession of all the laurels that clustered aiound that name.

Tlie second corps was ])romineat by reason ot its longer and continuous service, laiger 
organization, hardest fighting, and greatest number of casualties. Within its ranks was the 
regiment whicli sustained the largest percentage of loss in any one action ; also, the regiment 
which sustained the greatest numerical loss in any one action ; also, the regiment which 
sustained the greatest numerical loss during its term of service ; while, of the one hundred 
regiments in the Union Army which lost the most men in battle, thirty -five of them belonged 
to the Second Corps. 

The corps was organized under General (_)iders iV<j. lul, March 13, 1862, which assigned 
General Edwin V, Sumner to its command, and Generals Richardson, Sedgwick, and 
Blenker to the command of its divisions. Within three weeks of its organization tlie corps 
moved with McClellan's Army to the Peninsula, excepting Blenker's Division, which was 
withdrawn on March 31st from McC'lellan's conmuuid, and ordered to reenforce Fremont's 
troops in Westein Virginia. Blenker's Division never rejoined the corps, — in fact, it had 
never really joined. The ivmaining two divisions, whicli constituted the corps, numbered 
21,500 men, of whom ls,0()0 were present for duty. 

The first general engagement of the corps occurred at Fair Oaks, Avhere Sumner's prompt 
and soldierly action brought the corj)s on the field in time to retrieve a serious disaster, and 
change a rout into a victory. The casualties of the two divisions in that battle amounted to 
190 killed, 890 wounded, and 90 missing. In the Seven Days' Battle it lost 201 killed, 1,195 
wounded, and 1,024 missing. Upon the withdrawal of the Army from before Richmond, it 
moved to the support of Pope at Second Bull Run. arriving on that field in time to go into 
position at Chantilly, but was not engaged. 

The corps then marched on the Maryland camiiaign, during which French's (Third) 
Division was added. At Antietam the corps was prominently engaged, its casualties amount- 
ing to more than double that of any other corps on the field. Out of 15,000 effectives, it lost 
883 killed, 3,859 wounded, and 39(5 missing ; total, 5.138. Nearly one-half of these casualties 
occurred in Sedgwick's (Second) Division, in its bloody and ill-planned advance on the 
Dunker church, an aft'air wOiich was under Sumner's personal direction. The Irish Brigade, 
of Richardson's (.First j Division, also sustained a terrible loss in its fight at the "Bloody 
Lane," but, at the same time, inflicted a greater one on the enemy. General Richardson was 
killed in this battle, and General Sedgwick received three wounds. 

The next battle was at Fredericksburg. In the meantime Sumner had been promoted to 
the command of u Grand Division — Second and Ninth Corps— and General Darius N. Couch, 



68 Kegimental Losses ix the Civil War. 

a division commander of the Fourth Corps, was appointed to his place. General Hancock 
succeeded to the command of Ricliardson's (1st) Division, and General Howard took Sedg- 
wick's place, the latter being absent on account of wounds. The loss of the corps at Fred- 
ricksburg exceeded that of any otlier in thid battle, amounting to 412 killed, 3,214 wounded, 
and 4SS missing, one-half of which fell on Hancock's Division in the unsuccessful assault on 
Marye's Heights. The percentage of loss in Hancock's Divisicni was large, Caldwell's (1st) 
Brigade losing 46 per cent, killed and wounded. 

After Fredericksburg, the Grand Divisions were discontinued, and General Sumner retiring 
on account of age and physical disabilities. General Couch remained in command. Couch led 
the corps at Chancellorsville, with Hancock, Gibbon, and French as his division commanders. 
Sedgwick had been promoted to the command of the Sixth Corps, and Howard, who had 
commanded Sedgwick's Division at Fredericksburg, was promoted to the command of the 
Eleventh Corps. At Chancellorsville the principal part of the Second Corps' fighting fell on 
Hancock's Division, its skirmish line, under Colonel Nelson A. Miles, distinguishing itself by 
a successful resistance to a sti-ong attack of the enemy, making one of the most interesting 
episodes in the history of that battle. During the fighting at Chancellorsville, Gibbon's (2d) 
Division remained at Fredericksburg, where it supported Sedgwick's operations, but Avith 
slight loss. . 

Not long after Chancellorsville, General Couch Avas relieved at his oAvn request, Hancock 
succeeding to the command of the corps, and Caldwell to that of Hancock's Division. While 
on the march to Gettysburg, Genei-al Alex. Hays' Brigade joined, and was assigned to the 
Third Division, Hays taking command of the division. At Gettysburg, the corps was hotly 
engaged in the battles of the second and third days, encountering there the hardest fighting 
in its experience, and winning there its grandest laurels ; on the second day, in the fighting 
at the Avheat-field, and on the third, in the repulse of Pickett's charge, which was directed 
against Hancock's position. The fighting was deadly in the extreme, the percentage of loss 
in the First Minnesota, Gibbon's Division, being without an equal in the records of modern 
warfare. The loss in the corps was 796 killed, 3,186 wounded and 368 missing; a total of 
4,350 out of less than 10, .500* engaged. Gibbon's Division suffered the most, the percentage 
of loss in Harrow's (1st) Brigade being unusually severe. Hancock and Gibbon were seriously 
wounded, while of the brigade commanders, Zook, Cross, Willard and Sherrill were killed. 
The monthly return of the corps, June 30, 1863, shows an aggregate of 22,336 borne on 
the rolls, but shows only 13,056 " present for duty." From the latter deduct the usual pi'o- 
portion of non-combatants,— the musicians, teamsters, cooks, servants and stragglers, and it 
becomes doubtful if the corps liad over 10,000 muskets in line at Gettysburg. 

General Hancock's wounds necessitated an absence of severa. months. General William 
Hays was placed in coiumand of the corps immediately after the battle of Gettysbui-g, 
retaining the command until August 12th, when he was i-elieved by General Gouverueur K. 
Warren, who was ordered to take Hancock's place during the latter's absence. Warren had 
distinguished himself at Gettysburg by his quick comprehension of the critical situation at 
Little Round Top, and by the energetic promptness with which he remedied the difficulty. 
He had also made a brilliant reputation in the Fifth Corps, and as the chief topographical 
officer of the Army of the Potomac. He was, subsequently, in command at Bristoe Station, 
a Second Corps affair, and one which was noticeable for the dash with which officers and men 
fought, together with the superior ability displayed by Warren himself. He also commanded 
at Mine Run and Morton's Ford, the divisions at that time being under Generals Caldwell, 
Webb and Alex. Hays. 

Upon the reorganization of the Army of the Potomac, March 23, 1864, the Third Corps

was discontinued, and two of its three divisions were ordered transferred to the Second. 
Under this ai-rangcnient the Second Corps was increased to 81 regiments of infantry and 10 
butteries of hght artilleiy. Tiie material of the old Second Corps was consolidated 'into two 
divisions, under Generals Barlow and Gibbon ; the two divisions of the Third Corps were 
transferred intact, and were numbered as the Third and Fourth, with Generals Birney and 
Mott in command. By this accession, the Second Corps attained in April, 186-t, an aggregate 
strength of 46,363, with 28,854 present for duty. 

General Hancock, having partially recovered from his wounds, resumed command, and 
led his battle-scarred divisions across the Eapidan. In the battle of tlie Wilderness the corps 
lost 699 killed, 3,877 wounded, and 51G missing; total, 5,092, half of this loss falling on 
Birney's (Third) Division. General Alex. Hays, commanding the Second Brigade of Birney's 
Division, was among the killed. 

At Spotsylvania the Second Corps again attained a glorious place in history by Han- 
cock's brilliant and successful assault on the morning of May 12th. During the fighting 
around Spotsylvania, Mott's (Fourth) Division became so depleted by casualties, and hy the 
loss of several regiments wliose term of service had oxpired, that it was discontinued and 
merged into Birney's Division, Mott i-etaining the command of a brigade. The casualties of 
the corps in the various actions around Sjjotsylyania, from May 8th to the 19th, aggregated 
894 killed, 4,947 Avounded, and Sul missing; total 6,642, or over one-third of the loss in the 
entire Army of the Potomac, including tlie Ninth Corps. The heaviest loss occurred in Bar- 
low's (First) Division. Up to this time the Second Corps had not lost a color nor a gun, 
although it had previously captured 44 stands of colors from tlie enemy. 

After more of hard and continuous fighting at the North Anna, and along the Toto- 
potomoy, the corps reached the memorable field of Cold Harbor. While at Spotsylvania it had 
been reenforced by a brigade of heavy artillery regiments, acting as infantry, and by the 
brigade known as the Corcoran Legion, so that at Cold Harbor it numbered 53,831, present 
and absent, with 26,900 "present for duty." Its loss at Cold Harbor including eleven days 
in the trenches, was 494 killed, 2,442 wounded, and 574 missing ; total, 3,510. Birney's Division 
was but slightly engaged. 

In the assaults on the Petersburg intrenchments, June 16th -ISth, the Corps is again 
credited with the largest casualty list. In one of these attacks, the First Maine Heavy 
Artillery sustained the most remarkable loss of any regimental organization, in any one 
action, during the war. At this time the corps contained ^5 regiments ; its effective strength, 
however, was less than at a previous date. The corps recrossed the James, and fought at 
Deep Bottom, July 26th, and again on August 14th; then, having returned to the lines around 
Petersburg, Barlow's and Birney's Divisions were engaged at Eeam's Station, on August 25th, 
a disastrous and unfortunate affair, in whic;h it lost a large number of men captured. 

At the battle of the Boydton Road, October 27, 1864, the division commanders were 
Generals Egan and Mott, the First Division (Miles'), being retained in the trenches. In Novem- 
ber, 1864, General Hancock was assigned to other duty, and General Andrew A. Humphreys, 
chief of staff to the Army of the Potomac, succeeded to his position. He was in command 
during the final campaign, the divisions being under Generals Miles, William Hays and Mott. 
The corps fought its last battle at Farmville, April 7, 1865, two days before Lee's surrender. 
In this final action General Thomas A. Smyth, a brigadier in Hays' (2d) Division, was killed. 
Smyth was an officer with a brilliant reputation, and at one time commanded the famous Irish 
Brigade. 

The history of the Second Corps was identical with that of the Army of the Potomac. 
It needs no words of praise j its record was unsurpassed.

Hill ; Bristoe Station ; Manassas ; Chantilly ; Fredericksburg ; Chancellorsville ; 
Gettysburg; Wapping Heights; Kelly's Ford; Mine Run. 

The Third Corps included in its organization the famous Kearny Division ; also, Hooker's 
Division, the Excelsior Brigade, the Second Jersey Brigade, and other well known commands. 
Its brilliant record is closely interwoven with the history of the Virginia campaigns of 1 862 - 
()3, in which it fought during two eventful years. 

It was organized March 1:3, 1802, with Generals Hooker, Hamilton and Fitz John Porter 
as its three division connnanders, and General S. P. Heintzehnan in command of tlie corps. 
It was immediately ordered to the Peninsula, Hamilt<jn's Division embarking on the 17th, 
and leading the advance of the Army of the Potomac on that memorable campaign. During 
the siege of Yorktown the corps was at its maximum, the morning reports of April 30th 
showing an aggregate of 39,710, with 64 piecc^sof light artillery, and 34,633 reported as "pres- 
ent for duty."' Bnt this aggregate was maintained but for a short time, as Porter's 
Division was taken away soon after to form part of the newly organized Fifth Corps. 
Hamilton was relieved on April 30th, and General Philip Kearny took his place, Hamilton 
going to the Army of the Mississippi, where he was assigned to a division command. 

Upon the evacuation of Yorktown, the Third Corps led the pursuit of the retreating 
enemy, attacking him. May 5th, at Williamsburg, with Hooker's and Kearny's Divisions. 
This battle was fought almost entirely by the Third Corps ; of the 2.23;) casualties on that 
field, 2,002 occurred within its ranks ; and three-fourths of them in Hooker's Division, the 
brunt of the battle having fallen on the Excelsior Brigade and Jersey Brigade, both in Hooker's 
command. Porter's Division was not engaged, having been left at Yorktown ; on May 18th 
it was permanently detached, leaving only two divisions, Hooker's and Kearny's in the 
corps, and reducing its aggregate strength to 23,331 present and absent, with 34 pieces of 
field artillery. The two divisions numbered about 17,000 effectives, out of the 18,205 re- 
ported as " present for duty." 

At Fair Oaks, its next battle, it lost 209 killed, 945 wounded and 91 missing, principally 
in Jameson's and Berry's Brigades of Kearny's Division. Five fresh regiments joined in 
June, increasing its report of June 20th to 27,474 " present and absent, " of whoml8,428 were 
reported "present for duty, equipped ;" this included eight batteries of light artillery, of 40 
guns. After deducting the large nund^er of non-combatants and detailed men which are 
included in the "present for duty," the corps probably numbered, at this time about 17,000 
effectives, available in case of action. 

The corps made the opening tight in the Seven Days' Battle, at Oak Grove, June 25th, 
fighting again at Glendale on the 30th, and at Malvern Hill on July 1st ; its losses in these 
engagements aggregated 158 killed, 1,021 wounded, and 71*4 missing; total, 1,973. The 
heaviest loss occurred in Robinson's Brigade of Kearny's Division ; the First New York, 
Berry's Brigade, also encountered a hot fire at Glendale. ^ 

Upon the withdrawal from the front of Richmond, the Third Coi-ps accompanied the 
Army of the Potomac to Manassas, where it was sent to reenforce Pope. The corps left 
Harrison's Baron August 14th, and marching to Yorktown embarked on the 20th for Alexan- 
dria. It an-ived at Warrenton Junction on the 26th, and on the following day the Excelsior 
Brigade had a sharp fight at Bristoe Station. On the 29th, the corps was engaged at Grove- 
ton, Grover's Brigade, of Hooker's Division, having a desperate fight at the railroad embank- 
ment, in which the use of bayonets and clubbed nmskets was officially reported. On the 1st of 



The Third Corps. 71 

September, Kearny's Division was engaged at Chantilly, Birney's Brigade taking a prominent 
part ; Kearny was kiUed in this action. The losses of the corps at Manassas, including 
Bristoe, Groveton and Chantilly, amounted to 260 killed, 1,525 wounded and 453 missing; 
total, 2,238. Hooker's Division numbered fully 10,000 men at Yorktown, and received a 
reenforcement of about 3,000 more ; after Manassas, it drew rations at Fairfax Station for 
only 2,400 men. The arduous nature of its campaigns, as well as the bullets of the enemy, had 
told sadly on its numbers. 

The corps was so reduced by its losses that it was ordered into the defences of Washington 
to rest and recruit, remaining there during the Maryland campaign, and hence was not pre- 
sent at Antietam. In November it joined Burnside's Army, then on its way to Fredericksburg, 
and arriving at Falmouth on the 24th, encamped there until the battle of December 13th. In 
the meantime. General Hooker had been promoted to the command of the Centre Grand 
Division, composed of the Third and Fifth Corps ; General George Stoneman had been assigned 
to the command of the Third Corps ; General Birney to that of the First Division, vice 
Kearny killed ; General Sickles to the Second Division, vice Hooker promoted ; and a third 
division, under General A. W. Whipi)le had been added. The corps was not prominently 
engaged at Fiedericksburg, although under a heavy fire ; still, its casualties amounted to 145 
killed, 837 wounded and 202 missing; total 1,184, over half of which occurred in Waid's 
Brigade of Birney's Divison. After the battle the corps returned to its quarters at Falmouth, 
where it spent the winter of 1862-63. General Sicldes was promoted to the command of the 
corps, and General Hiram Berry to that of Sickles' Division. 

On May 1, 1863, the corps broke camp and marched to Chancellorsville, an eventful field 
in its history ; a battle in which the brunt of the fighting fell on the Third and Twelfth 
corps. It took 17,568 men, including non-combatants, on that campaign, losing 378 killed, 
2,634 wounded and 1,090 missing ; total 4,102. Generals Berry and Whipple were among the 
kiUed. 

The depleted ranks were still further lessened by the loss of four New York regiments 
whose two-years term of enlistment had expired ; a nine-moiitlis regiment from Pennsylvania 
had also gone home. The corps was accordingly consolidated into two divisions ; the First 
under General Birney, and the Second under General Andrew A. Humphreys, an able officer 
who had distinguished himself as a division commander at Fi-edericksburg. 

At Gettysburg, the corps took a prominent part in the battle of the second day, and 
althougli forced to fall back from its untenable position on tlie Eiumittsburg Road, it did not 
do so until it had exacted a fearful price from its assailants. Its losses at Gettysburg were 
578 killed, 3,026 wounded, and 606 missing; total, 4,210 out of less than 10,000 actually 
engaged. The morning report showed 11,924 prese^-t for duty equipped. General Sickles 
was seriously wounded, losing a leg ; he left the corps, and General Birney succeeded tempo- 
rarily to the command. 

In July, 1863, the corps was increased by the accession of French's Division, which had 
been in garrison at Harper's Ferry and was composed, mostly, of regiments with comparatively 
fuU ranks, although they had been in service several months. General French was assigned 
to tlie command of the corps. During the pursuit of Lee, after Gettysburg, a part of the 
corps was engaged at Wapping Heights, Va., July 23d, an action in which the Excelsior 
Brigade was prominently engaged. Another minor affair occured at Kelly's Ford, Va., 
November 7, 1863, in which some regiments of Birney's (First) Division were under fire. 

In the Mine Run campaign a sharp fight took place at Locust Grove, Va., in which 
Carr's (3d) Division sustained considerable loss, the principal part of the casualties in that 
campaign occurring in the Third Corps. At this time General French was still in com- 
mand of the corps, with Generals Birney, Prince and Carr in command of the divisions. 



72 Eegimental Losses in the Civil War. 

Upon the return from Mine Eun, the corps went into winter-quarters at Brandy Station. 

On March 23, 1864, the order was issued for the discontinuance of the Third and First 
Corps. Unjust and ill-advised, it awoke a feeling of indignation and bitter resentment that 
has never been forgotten by the men. The wearers of the diamond badge gloried in the record 
of their corps ; on all occasions they proudly avowed their connection with it ; they considered 
it second to none, and gazed with pride on the historic names emblazoned on their flags. 
A.11 this, however, counted for naught at the War Department ; the order was enforced, and 
the war-worn regiments marched away to fight under other banners ; the old corps lived 
only in the story of its deeds that nightly were recounted around the camp-fires of its 
veterans. 

The First and Second Divisions were transferred entire to the Second Corps, and, with 
Generals Birney and Mott in c;ommand, became respectively the Third and Fourth Divisions 
of that corps. The men were allowed to retain the old diamond-shaped, flannel badges on 
their caps, a prudent concession under the circumstances. 

The Third Division was transferred entire to the Sixth Corps, where, under command of 
General Ricketts, it became the Third Division of that corps.

Siege of Yorktown ; Lee's Mills ; Williajisburg ; Seven Pines ; Fair Oaks ; Oak 
Grove ; Seven Days Battle ; Malvern Hill ; Antietam. 

Organized under General Orders No. 101, JIarch 13, 1862, by which the First, Second, and 
Third Corps were also created. It was formed by the divisions of Couch, Smith, and Casey, 
with General E. D. Keyes in command of the corps. The returns for March 31, 1862, show 
that the Fourth Corps then numbered, in tlie aggregate, 37,910, with 60 pieces of artillery ; 
of this number, there were 32,!*rj present for duty. The corps moved to the Peninsula in 
March, 1862, with General McClellan's Army, taking part in the siege operations at York- 
town, and participating in the battle of Williamsburg, where it sustained a slight loss only. 

On May 18th, General Wm. F. Smith's Division was detached and assigned to the newly 
formed Sixth Corps, leaving the Fourth Corps to consist of the divisions of Generals Couch 
and Casey. After this reduction, it numbered on May 31st, 25,317 present and absent, with 
17,132 present for duty ; the artillery numbered 38 guns. 

At the battle of Seven Pines (Fair Oaks) the full force of the Confedei-ate attack was 
directed on an advanced position held by Casey's Division, which stood its ground for an 
hour, inflicting a severe loss on the enemy, and not retiring until sufficient supports had 
aiTived to save the day. Couch's Division was also hotly engaged, the losses in the corps 
aggregating 384 killed, 1,747 wounded, and 466 missing; total, 2,597 out of less than 12,000 
engaged. Over half the loss at Fair Oaks fell on the Fourth Corps. 

During the Seven Days Battle, the corps guarded the trains during their withdrawal to 
the new base of supplies, but Couch's Division took a prominent part in the battle of Malvern 
Hill, losing over COO, killed or wounded there. 

When the army was ordered to abandon its position before Richmond, the Fourth Corps 
was divided. Couch's (1st) Division accompanied the Army of the Potomac on the Maryland 
campaign, some of the regiments becoming slightly engaged at Antietam. After that battle, 
Couch's Division was transferred, entire, to the Sixth C^orps, becoming the Third Division of 
that corps, with General .John Newton commanding the division. General Couch was pro- 
moted to the command of tlie Second Corps.

In ihe meantime, Peck's (2d) Division of tlie Fourth Corps was ordered to remain on tlie 
I'eninsula, from wiience it went, after a few months stay, to Suffolk, Va. The Fomlh Corps 
was officially discontinued in August, 1862, and its divisions were never reunited.

This corps was composed of figliting regiments. Of the regiments in the Western 
armies, take the ones that sustained the greatest losses in battle, and it will be found that 
more of them were in the Fourth Corps than in any other. Although all of their fighting 
was not done while in tlie Fourth Corps, it was done either in it or in the two corps which were 
consolidated in order to form the Fourth. 

On October 9, ISCd, the Fourth Corps was organized by the consolidation of the Twentieth 
(McCook's) and Twenty-first (Crittenden's) Corps, incompliance with the President's order of 
September 2Sth. Though newly-formed, it was composed of veteran brigades whose battle 
flags were scarred with the marks of hard fought fields ; within this new command they 
were destined to wave amid the smoke and fire of many more. The command of the Fourth 
Corps was given to General Gordon Granger, the man who marched his division to Chicka- 
mauga with no other orders or direction than " the sound of the enemy's cannon." The three 
divisions of this new coi-ps were placed under the commands of Generals Palmer, Sheridan, 
and Wood. Soon after its organization the corps went into action at Missionary Ridge, where 
it distinguished itself by its brilliant and successful charge up the heights. In this battle the 
two divisions of Sheridan and Wood lost 280 killed, 2,078 wounded, and 12 missing ; total, 
2,370, or more than half the casualties at Missionary Ridge. The first division, under com- 
mand of General Cruft, was also engaged. 

During the following winter the corps marched to the relief of Knoxville, a campaign 
memorable for the suffering, hunger, and hardships endured by the men. In May, 1864, it 
moved on the Atlanta campaign, General Howard c-ommanding the corps, and Generals 
Stanley, Newton, and Wood the divisions. Its hardest fighting during that campaign 
occurred at Pickett's Mills, and in the unsuccessful assault on Kenesaw Mountain. 

After the evacuation of Atlanta, the Fourth and Twenty-third Corps, under General 
Thomas, marched northward to confront Hood's forces, while Sherman, with the main army, 
wended his way, unm >lested, to th? sea. General Stanley was then in command of the 
Fourth Corps, General Howard having been promoted to the command of the Army of the 
Tennessee, upon the death of MacPherson; Kimball, Wagner, and Wood were in command of 
the divisions. On November 20, 1864:, a few days before the battle of Spring Hill, the coi'ps 
numbered 14,715 present for duty; about 2,200 more joined before the battle of Franklin. In 
that battle the Confederates received the bloodiest repulse of the war, their men fighting with 
unusual desperation, while twelve of their generals were killed or wounded in their unsuccessful 
attack on t"he Union intrenchments. At Franklin, Opdycke's Bi-igade of the Fourth Corps 
won special distinction by its promptness and gallantry in retaking a part of the works which 
the enemy had seized. General Stanley was severely wounded in this action, and General 
Thomas J. Wood succeeded to his place. 



74 Regimental Losses in the Crv'iL Wak. 

General Wood had served with honoi- in the armies of the Ohio, and the Cumberland, 
from the comnieuceinent of the war. He commanded tlie Fourth Corps in its last battle — its 
last victory, at ISIashviile. His division generals in that engagement were Kimball, Elliott, 
and Beatty ; the casualties in the corps were loo killed, S;H wounded and 22 missing ; total, 
991. The corps joined in the pursuit of Hoods defeated army, after which General Wood 
assembled it at Huntsville, Ala., arriving there January 5, 1S65. On March 1.5th it moved 
into East Tennessee, in order to prevent the possible escape of Lee's and Johnston's armies, 
returning in April to Nasliville, where it remained until June l(3tli, when it was ordered to 
New Orleans, en route for Texas. Although the war had virtually ended, the Fourth Corps 
remained in Texas during the rest of 18G5, forming a pai't of Sheridan's Army of Occupation. 
The most of the I'egiments were, however, mustered out in December, 18(55, in time for the 
men to snend Christmas in their homes. 

FIFTH CORPS. 

Hanover Court House ; Mechanicsville ; Gaines' Mill ; Glendale ; Malvern Hill ; 
Manassas ; Antietam ; Shepherdstoavk Ford ; Fredericksburg ; Chancellorsville ; Get-

Petersburg Assault ; Siege of Petersburg ; Weldon Railroad ; Poplar Spring 
Church ; Hatcher's Run ; Dabney's Mills ; Gravelly Run ; White Oak Road ; Five 
Forks ; Appomattox. 

The Fifth Corps was organized May 18, 1863, while the Army of the Potomac, to which 
it belonged, was engaged on the Peninsular campaign. It was formed by taking Porter's 
Division away from the Third Corps, and uniting with it Sykes' Division of Regular troops, 
making a provisional corps of two divisions. This action was confirmed by the War Depart- 
ment, July 22, 1862, whereupon, the term "Fifth Provisional" was dropped, and it became 
the Fifth Corps, Army of the Potomac. Banks' Corps had been officially designated as the 
Fifth Corps, in general orders No. 101, March 13, 1862, but the designation does not appear 
to have been used in connection with Banks' ti-oops. The Fifth Corps of history is the one 
which wore the Maltese Cross. 

It was permanently organized, with General Fitz John Porter as the corps commander, 
and with Generals Morell and Sykes in command of the two divisions. 

The first battle of the corps occurred at Hanover Court House, Va., May 27, 1862, an 
engagement in which Morell's Division stood tlie brunt of the fighting, and won a creditable 
victory. On May 31st, the returns showed 17,5-16 present for duty. On June 14th its ranks 
were increased by the accession of McCall's Division of Pennsylvania Reserves, 9,500 strong, 
which served with the Fifth Corps during the Peninsular campaign, but left it upon the retui-n 
to Washington, the Reserves rejoining McDowell's Corps, fi'oni which they had been detached. 
The battle of Gaines' Mill was fought, almost entirely, by the Fifth Corps and Slocum's 
Division of the Sixth, the whole under command of General Porter. His troops held their 
position stoutly, although the attacking forces comprised the entire Confederate Army, with 
the exception of Magruder's command. At Glendale, the division of Pennsylvania. Reserves 
was hotly engaged, and at Malvern HiU some of Porter's regiments were again in the thickest 
of the fight. The loss of the corps in the Seven Days Battle was 995 killed, 3,805 wounded, 
and 2,801 captured or missing; total, 7,601, or half the entire loss of the army. Of these 
casualties, 6,837 occurred at Gaines' Mill ; the remainder at Mechanicsville, Glendale, and 
Malvern Hill. 



Fifth Corps. 'j5 

The next battle was Manassas (Second Bull Run), wliere the corps, still under command of 
General Porter, did some of the best fighting on that field, the lai-gest regimental loss, in killed 
and wounded, in Pope's entire Army at that battle, occurring in the Duryee Zouaves, one of 
Porter's regiments. The two small divisions of Morell and Sykes sustained a loss there of 
331 killed, i,:i62 wounded, and 45C missing; a total of ^,151. out of about 6,500 engaged; 
Griffin's Brigade not being in action. 

At Antietam, Porter's Corps was held in reserve ; still, it was drawn on freely during the 
day, so. that Sykes' Division was, almost wholly, in action. Soon after this battle a third 
division was assigned to the corps, taking the place of the Pennsylvania Reserves. This new 
division was commanded by General Humphreys, aud was composed of two brigades ; the 
regiments were all from Pennsylvania and wei'e mostly nine-months men, newly recruited. 

General Daniel Bntterfield commanded the corps at Fi-edericksburg, and Generals Griffiu, 
Sykes, and Humphreys the divisions; loss, 20G killed, 1,669 wounded, and 300 missing; 
total, 2,175. Over half of the loss fell on Humphreys' new recruits, who made a dashing 
attempt, under his personal leadership, to carry Marye's Heights after all other efforts had 
failed. 

General Meade succeeded Butterfield, and led the corps to Chancellorsville, where it was 
but partially engaged ; loss, 61) killed, 472 wounded, aud 159 missing. The time of the nine- 
months regiments in Humphreys' Division expired soon after Chancellorsville, and that divis- 
ion was necessarily discontinued ; but upon the news of Lee's invasion, in 1863, the Penn- 
sylvania Reserves, who were then on duty in Washington, petitioned that they be allowed to 
march to the defence of their state. Accordingly, two brigades of the Reserves rejoined the 
Army of the Potomac, and were assigned to the Fifth Corps, in which they again served as the 
Third Division, this time under command of General S. W. Crawford. 

General Meade having been jiromoted to the command of the Army, just before the 
battle of Gettysburg, General Sykes succeeded to his place ; the divisions were commanded at 
Gettysburg by Generals Barnes, Ayres, and Crawford. The corps distinguished itself in that 
battle by its fighting in the wheat-field, and also by the gallant action of Vincent's Brigade 
in seizing Little Round Top, just in time to save the Army from what might have been a 
serious disaster. The corps' loss at Gettysburg was 365 killed, 1,611 wounded, and 211 miss- 
ing ; a total of 2,187, out of about 11,000 actually engaged. 

The regular troops of the Army of the Potomac were all in the Fifth Corps, Second 
(Ayi-es') Division, and at Gettysburg these two brigades, under Colonels Day and Burbank, 
again displayed that maiked efficiency which, at Gaines' Mill and on other fields, had made 
them famous, their thinned ranks becoming again sadly depleted imder the terrible fire which 
they encountered. 

General Sykes remained in command, and handled the corps on the Mine Run campaign ; 
the division generals were Bartlett, Ayres, and Crawford. 

In March, 1864, the First Corps was transfeiTed to the Fifth, aud General G. K. Warren 
was assigned to the command. The First aud Second Divisions of the Fifth Corps were 
consohdated, forming the First Division, under General Griffin, while the Third Division — 
Crawfoi-d's Pennsylvania Reserves — remained unchanged ; the First (Jorps had been consoh- 
dated into two divisions, prior to the transfer, which now became the Second aud Fourth 
Divisions of the Fifth Corps, under command, respectively, of Generals Robinson and Wads- 
worth. Under this reorganization, the Fifth Corps contained 67 regiments of infantry, and 
9 batteries of light artillery (48 guns), numbering in aU 25,695 officers and men " present for 
duty, equipped." 

" General Wadsworth was killed in the battle of the Wilderness, and General Robmson 
was severely wounded, losing a leg at Spotsylvania. Genei'al Cutlei-, of the Iron Brigade,

succeeded to Wadsworth's command, while Robinson's Division was broken up, and its regi- 
ments were distributed to the other three divisions. The losses of the Fifth Corps, at the 
Wilderness, May 5th and 6th, were 487 killed, 2.817 wounded, and 1,828 missing ; total, 5,132. 
At Spotsylvania, May Sth-13th. it lost Go7 killed, 3,448 wounded, and 375 missing ; total, 4,480. 

During the hard fighting and bloody assaults at Cold Harbor, the Fifth Corps was in line 
at Bethesda Church, a point on the extreme right, where it was engaged in some sharp actions 
along the skirmish line, in which it sustained a considerable loss. It also took part in the 
assaults on Petersburg, June 18, 1864, losing 38U killed, 1,899 wounded, and 38 missing ; after 
which it took its place in the trenches preparatory to the long siege which followed. During 
the seige it was engaged, August lOth, in the battle at the Weldon Railroad, in which a large 
number of the men were cajitured. In this action the divisions were commanded by Griffin, 
Ayi'es, and Crawford, these officers remaining in command of their divisions until the close of 
the war. On October 27th the Corps participated in the first of the battles at Hatcher's Run 
(Boydton Road), in which it sustained a loss of 279. On February 5th, 1865, it was again 
engaged at Hatcher's Run (^Dabney's Mills), Avith a loss of 1,319 killed, wounded, and missing. 

On March 31, 1865, just before the final campaign, the morning reports show the corps 
strength to have been 17,073, "present for duty, equipped." In the closing battles of the 
war, from March 29th to April 9th, 1865 — including Gravelly Run, White Oak Road, and 
Five Forks — the casualties in the corps aggi-egated 2,465 in killed, v^ounded, and missing. 
Its last battle was fought at Five Forks, in which action the corps, still under "Warren, 
captured 3,244 men, 11 flags, and 1 battery of artillery. The war having ended, the organiza- 
tion was discontinued, June 28, 1865.

The Sixth Provisional Corps was organized May 18, 1862, by uniting Franklin's Division, 
which had just arrived on the Peninsula, with General W. F. Smith's Division, which was 
taken away from the Fourth Corps for this ])urpose. This provisional arrangement having 
been sanctioned by the War Department, the command i-eceived its pei-manent designation 
as the Sixth Army Corps. General William B. Franklin was appointed corps commander, 
and General H. W. Slocum succeeded to the command of Franklin's Division. On June 20, 
1862, the corps numbered 24,11] 1, present and absent, Avitli 19,405 present fov duty, equipped ; 
the corps artillery numbered 40 guns. 

At Gaines' Mill, Slocum's Division was sent to tlie support of General Porter, and became 
hotly engaged, losing 2,021 men out of less tlian 8,000 present. The Vermont brigade of 
Smith's (2nd) Division took a prominent part in the fight at Savage Station, the Fifth Ver- 
mont losing 209 men in that action. The corps fought at other points during the Seven 
Days Battle, but at Malvern Hill it was held in I'eserve. At Manassas (Second Bull Run) it 
was partially engaged, the Jersey Brigade of Slocum's (1st) Division having a sharp fight on 
August 27th, at Bull Run Bridge, in which it lost 339 in killed, wounded and missing, Gen- 
eral Taylor, the brigade commander, receiving a mortal wound. While on McClellan's 
campaign^ Slocum's Division made a gallant and successful charge up the mountain's side at 



Sixth Corps. 77 

Crampton's Gap, driving the enemy from a strong position ; Slocum's loss was 113 killed, 
418 wounded, and two missing; total, 538. The corps was under fii-e again at Antietam, 
but was only partially engaged ; the third Brigade (Irwin's) of Smith's Division, took an 
active part, howevei-, the Seventh Maine and Twentieth New York sustaining severe losses. 

Important changes in the corps now took place. It received a valuable accession by the 
transfer of Couch's Division of the Fourth Corps, which now became the Thii'd Division of 
the Sixth, with General John Newton in command. General Franklin was ])romoted to the 
command of the Left Grand Division, Sixth and First Corps, and General Smith succeeded 
to the command of the corps. General Slocum's able services were acknowledged by his 
promotion to the command of the Twelfth Corps, and General W. T. Brooks succeeded Slo- 
cum in command of the First Division, while General A. P. Howe succeeded to the com- 
mand of Smith's (2nd) Division. 

The next battle occurred at Fredericksburg. Dec. 13, lHG-2, in which only a few I'egiments 
of the corjis were engaged, although all were under a severe artillery tire. But the corps 
was engaged on the same field, May 3, 1863, in an action which made it famous on account 
of the brilliant display of dash and daring. When Hooker took tlie Army to Chancellors- 
ville he left the Sixth Corps in front of Fredericksburg, which was still held by a strong force of 
the enemy. General Sedgwick, who had succeeded to the corps command, ordered an assault 
on Marye's Heights, and that strong position which had defied the assaults of the previous 
battle, was now carried by the Sixth Corps at the point of the bayonet. The divisions of 
Newton and Howe were the ones engaged ; Brookfe' (1st) Division was engaged later in the 
day, at Salem Church. The corps lost in this battle, 485 killed, 2,019 wounded, and 1,485 
missing ; total 4,589. The missing ones were, for the most part, lost in the action at Salem 
Church. On the day before this battle, the corps returns showed a strength of 23,730, "present 
for duty," of whom less than 20,000 were present in action. 

The Gettysburg campaign came next, in which the divisions were commanded by Generals 
Wright, Howe, and Newton. The corps was held in reserve at Gettysburg, excepting Shaler's 
Brigade, which was sent into action as a support to tire Twelfth Corps ; several casualties, 
also, occurred in Eustis' and Wlieaton's Brigades, of Newton's Division. During the pursuit 
of Lee's Army, after Gettysburg, the Vermont Brigade was engaged in a very creditable atfair 
at Funkstown, Md., where this one brigade, drawn out in a skirmish liiie of over a mile in 
length, alone and unassisted, repelled a determined attack of a vastly superior force, which in 
massed columns charged tins skirmish line i-epeatedly. The Vermonters sustained but slighti 
loss, as they occupied a strong, natural position. 

Having i-eturned to Virginia, the coryjs participated, November 7, 1803, at Eappahannock 
Station in a successful assault on the enemy's inti-enchments. In this atfair there was another 
display of that dash and gallantry which was so eminently characteristic of the Sixth Corps. ■■■ 
The Sixth Maine and Fifth Wisconsin distinguished tliemselves particularly in this action, 
leading the storming party and cariying the works with the bayonet only. It was a bi'illiant 
success, resulting not only in a victory, but in the capture of a large number of prisoners, 
small arms, artillery and battle flags. 

On the Mine Eun campaign the divisions were commanded by Generals Wright, Howe, 
and H. D. Terry, but were not in action to any extent. The corps went into winter-quarters 
at Brandy Station. Upon the reorgan izati(jn of the Army, in March, 1864, several changes 
were made. The Third Division was broken up, Shaler's Brigade being transferred to Wright's 
(1st) Division, while the brigades of Eustis and Wheaton were placed in the Second Division, 

• At Rappahannork Station, Captain Furlong, of the Sixtli Maine, leaped over the enemy's works, and after emptying his revolver, fought 
with a elubbi-d musket, swinging it round his head until he feU dead. After the battle his body was found among a pile of dead, several of 
whom had been killed by the blows of a musket stock. 



78 Rkgimkm'al Losses in tiik Civil V\ ak. 

the comintind of vvliich was given to Geuenil (Jeo. W. Cxetty, an able otticer who had served 
asa divisioa-generalin tlie Ninth Corp.,, aud, also, in the Seventh Corpsat theSeigeof Suft'olk. 
The place of the Thii-d Division was tilled by the Third Division of the Third Corps, that 
corps having been discontinued ; the command of this division was given to General Ricketts. 
The corps now contained 49 regiments of infantry, an artillery brigade composed of 8 bat- 
teries of hght artillery (-iS guns ), and a battalion of heavy artillery acting as infantry ; number- 
ing in all, 2i,H>3, "pi-eseut for duty, equipped." 

In the battlesof the Wilderness and Spotsylvania it encountered the hardest contested 
fighting of its experience. At the Wilderness, the Vermont Brigade — Getty's Division — 
lost 1,232 men out of the 2,800 effectives that crossed the Rapidan on the previous day. At 
Spotsylvania, the Jersey Brigade of Wright's Division was engaged in a deadly struggle, the 
percentage of killed in the Fifteenth New Jersey being equalled in only one instance during 
the whole war. On May 10th — at Spotsylvania — ^ General Upton led a stonning party of 
twelve picked i-egiments selected from the Sixth Corps, which carried the Confederate works 
after a hand-to-hand fight in which bayonet wounds were freely given and received.* On 
May 12th — Spotsylvania — the whole corps fought at the " Bloody Angle," where the fighting 
was the closest and deadliest of any recorded in tlie history of modern wars. General Sedg- 
wick was killed at Spotsylvania, and General Wright succeeded to the command, General 
Russell succeeding Wright in the command of the First Division. The casualties of the corps 
at the Wilderness were, 71!) killed, 3,C(iO wounded, 65«3 missing; total, 5,035 ; and at Spotsyl- 
vania, G88 killed, 2,820 wounded, 534 missing; total, 4,042. 

In the assault at Cold Harbor, June 1st, 18C4, the corps sustained another severe loss, 
2,715 of its number falling, killed or wounded in that ill-advised attempt. Accompanying 
the Army to Petersburg it participated in the preliminary operations incidental to the invest- 
ment of that stronghold. But its stay was of short duration, Early's invasion of Maryland 
necessitating a transfer of troops to confront him, and the heroes of Maryo's Heights were 
selected for that duty. On July 6th, Ricketts' (3d) Division embarked at City Point, and, 
landing at Baltimore on the 8th, marched out to meet Early. This division took part in the 
battle at Monocacy on the following day, and, although unable to defeat Early, checked his 
advance. The other two divisions embarked on the 10th and, landing at Washington, attacked 
Early, whose advance had reached Fort Stevens, within the city limits. The brunt of this 
fight fell to the lot of Bidwell's (3d) Brigade, of Getty's (2d i Division, every regimental com- 
mandant in this brigade being either killed or wounded. 

The corps followed in pursuit of Early through Maryland, into Virginia, and u]> the 
Shenandoah Valle3\ Sheridan was placed in command of the Army of the Shenandoah, 
which was composed of the Sixth, Eightli, and Nineteenth Corps, and its campaign of 1864, 
in the Valley, Avas a memorable one by reason of the victories at Opeijuon, Fisher's Hill, and 
Cedar Creek. In the latter battle occurred the famous incident of Sheridan's Ride from 
Winchester; and, in justice to the Sixth Corps, it should be noted in connection with that 
affair, that General Wright had already given Early a successful check, had made the disposi- 
tions for a counter advance, and Avas about to move forward when Sheridan resumed command. 

• Extract from a private letter from Oeneral Upton : 

Mv Dkar Sm— Your letter of the 7th, enclosing extract, is received. Bayonet wounds and sabre cuts are very rare. But at Spotsyl- 
vania there were plenty of bayonet wounds : and, no picture coul 1 give too exalted an idea of the gallantry of the Vilst New York, 5lh Maine 
and 9Cth Pennsylvania, as they led the assaulting column of twelve picked regiments over the formidable entrenchments which confronted 
them. • » • Sincerely your friend, E. Upton.

The Wixth Cokps. 70 

General Russell was killed at tlie Opequon, and the gallant Bidwell at Cedar Creek. The 
casualties of the corps at the Opequon aggregated 211 killed, 1, -44:2 wounded, and 46 missing ; 
total, 1,699. At Cedar Creek, it lost 298 killed, 1,628 wounded, and 200 missing ; total, 2,126. 
Its total loss in the Shenandoah campaign, Aug. 22d to Oct. 20th, was 4,899, out of 12,615 
' ' present for duty, " in August. General AVheaton succeeded to the command of the lamented 
Russell, while General Truman Seymour was assigned to the command of the Third Division, 
in place of General Ricketts, who was seriously wounded at Cedar Creek. 

In Decemher. 1864, the Sixth Corps returned to the Petersburg trenches, built their 
winter-quarters, and went into position near the Weldon Railroad. On the 2d of April, 1865, 
occurred the grand, final, and successful assault on the fortifications of Petersburg, in which 
the corps was assigned a prominent and important part. Then came the hot pursuit of Lee's 
retreating veterans, during which the corps fought at Sailor's Creek. This, the last battle of 
the Sixth Corps, was marked by the same features which had so largely characterized all its 
battles,— dash, hard fighting — some of it with the bayonet, — victory, and large captures 
of men, flags, guns, and material. 

The history of the Sixth Corps, more than any other, is replete with fascinating interest. 
Its record is invested with more of the romance and brillancy of war. There was the 
successful assault of Marye's Heights ; the brillant dash into the rifle pits at Rappahannock 
Station ; the deadly hand-to-hand fighting in the gloomy thickets of Spotsylvania ; the breath- 
less interest which attaches to their lone fight at Fort Stevens, where, under the eye of the 
President, they saved the National Capital from the hand of the invader ; the victories in the 
Valley, with the dramatic incident at Cedar Creek ; and the crowning success at the storming 
of Petersburg. Over all these scenes the Greek Cross waved proudly on the banners of the 
corps, while its veteran legions wrought deeds which linked that badge with an unfading glory 
and renown. 

SEVENTH CORPS. 

(Department of Virginia.) 

Deserted House ; Siege of Suffolk. 

This corps was organized undei' General Orders No. 84, War Department, dated July 22, 
18C2, and was formed from the troops then under command of General John A. Dix at Fort 
Monroe, Norfork, Portsmouth, Sufi'olk, and vicinity. Soon after its organization, its returns 
showed a strength of 9,574, " present for duty, eijuipped," with au aggregate of 11,738, " pre- 
sent and absent." In April, 1863, it comprised the divisions of Corcoran, Getty, and Gurney, 
including, also, two brigades which were stationed at Yorktown, under General Keyes, and 
one brigade at Norfolk, under General Viele ; in all, 52 regiments of infantry, 9 batteries of 
light artillery, and 5 battalions of cavalry. The corps return for March ol, 1803, showed an 
aggregate of 32,741 present and absent, with 24,127 present for duty, equipped. 

Corcoran's Division was in action, January 30, 1863, in an affair at Deserted House, Va., 
in which it lost 23 killed, 108 wounded, and 12 missing. Both Corcoran's and Getty's Divisions 
were engaged in the defence of Suffolk, losing 41 killed, 223 wounded, and 2 missing, the 
principal loss falling on Getty's Division. 

In July, 1863, the brigade known as the Corcoran Legion was ordered on duty in the 
defences of Washington ; a part of the troops which had been engaged on the Peninsular march 
of June, 1863, were ordered to join the Army of the Potomxo ; other detachments were also 
made, after which the remaining troops were ordered transferred to the Eighteenth Corps, and 
the Seventh Corps was discontinued August 1st, 1863. On May 31, 1863, the Seventh Corps

had attained a strength of 32,397 present for duty, witli an aggregate, present and absent, 
of 43,648. Getty's Division was composed largely of veteran regiments which had served 
previously in the Ninth Corps. 

SEVENTH CORPS. 

(Department of Arkansas.) 

Arkadelphia ; Okalona ; Elkin's Ford ; Prairie d'Ann ; Moscoav; Camden ; Poison 
Springs ; Marks' Mills ; Jenkins' Ferry. 

As a result of the juggling vt^ith corps numbers by the Washington authorities, there 
occurs another duplication of titles. This corps was organized Jan. d, lb64, and was formed 
by the consolidation of the troops in the Department of Arkansas. The command of the 
corps was given to Major-General Frederick Steele ; the divisions were commanded by 
Generals Salomon and Thayer, with a cavalry division attached, under General E. A. Carr. 
The corps was continued in service until the close of the war. 

The principal part of its fighting was done in Arkansas while on Steele's Expedition, 
during which a general engagement occurred at Jenkins' Ferry, on the Saline River. In this 
action the corps lost 64 killed, 378 wounded, and 86 missing ; total, 528. Genei'al Samuel A. 
Rice, commanding the First Brigade of Salomon's (1st) Division, was mortally wounded in this 
battle. At this time the corps was composed of 17 regiments of infantry, 5 batteries of light 
artillery, and 10 regiments of cavahy. 

EIGHTH CORPS. 

Cloyd's Mountain ; New Market ; Piedmont ; Lynchburg ; Monocacy; Island Ford ; 
Carter's Farm ; MARTiNSBURCi ; Halltown ; Winchester ; Berryville ; Opequon ; Fisher's 
Hill ; Cedar Creek. 

These battles, which occurred between May ittli and October I'Jth, 1864, were fought 
wholly, or in part, by the Army of West Virginia, whicli was, for the most part, identical 
with the forces in the two divisions under General George Crook. These two divisions, by a 
provisional arrangement, formed a part of the Eighth Corps, and eventually came to be 
known as the corps itself. 

The Eiglith Corps proper was created by General Oiders No. 84, July 22, 1862, which 
designated the troops under Major-General John E. Wool as the Eighth Corps. These forces 
were stationed in Maryland, at Annapolis, Baltimore, Harper's Ferry, along the Baltimore & 
Ohio R. R., east of Cumberland, and along the railroad from Harper's Ferry to Winchester, Va. 

During the summer of 1864,and, also, in Sheridan's campaigns in the Valley, the Eighth 
Corps was commanded by General George Crook ; the First Division, comprising thi-ee 
brigades, was commanded by Colonel Joseph Thoburn ; the Second Division, containing two 
brigades, was commanded by Colonel Isaac H. Duval. Tiiere were 22 regiments of infantry 
in the two divisions. Colonel Tlioburn was killed at Cedar Creek, the last battle in which the 
corps participated. Colonel Duval was wounded at Opequon, whereupon Colonel Ruther- 
ford B. Hayes succeeded to tlie command of Duval's f2d) Division. The field return of troops, 
dated September 10, 1864, shows that the Army of West Virginia — Crook's two divisions — 
had only 7,507 effective men. 

At the battle of Winchester, however. July 24. 1864. Crook's command contained three 
divisions, Sullivan's, Duval's, and Mulligan's. Colonel Mulligan, the hero of Lexington, was 
killed in tliat battle, and his division was cut up so badly that it was consolidated into one 
brigade, which was transferred to the First Division, where it became the Third Brigade 
(Campbell's) of that division.

The corps lost about 1,200 men at Winchester; at the Opequon it lost 104 killed, 683 
wounded, and 7 missing — a total of 71)4 ; at Cedar Creek it lost 48 killed, 270 wounded,' and 
540 captured, or missing ; total, 858. 

General Lew. Wallace was assigned to the conuuand of the Eighth Corps on March 12, 
1863, and was in command at the battle of Monocacy, July !>, 1864. But that battle was 
fought chiefly by Ricketts' Division of the Sixth Corps ; the only troops of the Eighth Corps 
which were engaged, were some regiments from the Baltimore garrison, organized as the First 
Separate Brigade of the Eighth Corps, General E. B. Tyler commanding. On July 11th, 
General Ord was assigned to the command of the corps, but on the 2Sth it was restored to 
General Wallace. In December, 1864, the First and Third Brigades of the First Division 
(Thoburn's) were transfeired to the Army of the James, then near Richmond, and were 
designated as the Independent Division of the Twenty-fourth Corps, General J. W. Turner 
commanding. 

The Eighth Corps proper remained in service until August 1, 1865, when its existence 
terminated. 

NINTH CORPS. 

Roanoke Island ; Neav Berne ; Camden ; Wilmixgton Island ; James Island ; Man- 
assas ; Chantilly ; South Mountain ; Antietam ; Fredericksburg ; Siege of Vicksburg ; 
Jackson ; Blue Springs ; Lenoir Station ; Campbell's Station ; Fort Sanders ; Siege of 
Knoxville ; Strawberry Plains ; Wilderness ; Ny River ; Spotsylvania ; North Anna ; 
Bethesda Church ; Cold Harbor ; Assault on Petersburg, June 17th ; Petersburg 
Trenches ; Petersburg Mine ; Weldon Railroad ; Poplar Spring Church ; Boydton 
Road ; Hatcher's Run ; Fort Stedman ; Fall of Petersburg. 

A wandering corps, wiiose dead lie buried in seven states. Althougli the official order 
designating its number was not issued until July 22, 1862, still, the corps organization might 
pi'operly be considered as dating back to the Burnside expedition to North Carolina, in Feb- 
ruary, 1862, and to the operations about Hilton Head, S. C. ; because, the troops engaged in 
these movements were the only ones used in the formation of the corps. In July, 1862, two 
of Burnside's brigades left North Carolina and proceeded to Newport News, Va. ; at the same 
time, Stevens' Division left Hilton Head and repaired to the same place. From these troops, 
thus assembled, General Burnside organized his famous Ninth Cor^js on July 22, 1862, the 
command consisting of three divisions, under Generals Stevens, Reno, and Parke. 

After a shoi-t stay at Newport News the corps was ordered to reenforce Pope, and at 
Manassas it fought its first battle as the Ninth Corps. Only the two divisions of Stevens and 
Reno were engaged in this action; they numbered 12 regiments and 2 batteries, — less 
than 5, (too men, all told. General Reno was in command of both divisions, Burnside having 
been engaged at Fredericksburg in attending to tlie forwarding of troops. The losses in this 
small command at Manassas amounted to 204 killed, 1,000 wounded, and 319 missing ; total, 
1,523. Some of the regiments encountered a severe hie, the Twenty-eighth Massachusetts 
losing 234 men. General Stevens was killed at Chantilly. 

General Reno retained command of the corps on the Mai-yland campaign. General Burn- 
side having charge of the right wing of the Army, which was composed of the First and 
Ninth Corps. General Willcox was appointed to the command of Stevens' (1st) Division, 
while the Second and Third Divisions were connnanded, respectively, by Generals Sturgis and 
Rodman. During this campaign Cox's Kanawha Division was temporarily attached to the 
corps. The comniaud had also been gi'oatly strengthened by the accession of several nen-

regiments, just organized under the recent call for troops, and its four divisions now numbered 
29 regiments, and 5 batteries, with 13,819 present for duty, including the non-combatants. 

The battle of South Mountain was fought wholly by Burnside's two corps, the Ninth 
Corps losing 157 killed, (391 wounded, and 11 missing ; total, SS9. The loss in the First Corps 
was about the same. General Reno was killed in this action, upon which General Cox suc- 
ceeded to his command. At Antietam the corps lost 438 killed, 1,T96 wounded, and 115 
missing ; total, 2,34-9, out of about S,5U0 in action. General Rodman was among the mortally 
wounded. In October, Cox's Division returned to West Virginia, whence it had been with- 
drawn to reenforce Pope, and its brief connection with the corps terminated. This division 
had made a brilliant record by its gallant services at South Mountain and Antietam. 

Upon the departure of General Cox the command of the corps fell to General Willcox. 
General W. W. Burns was appointed to fill the vacancy thus caused in the First Division, and 
General George W. Getty was placed in command of the Third Division, formerly Rodman's. 
On November 5, 1862, General Burnside was made commander-in-chief of the Army of the 
Potomac. 

At Fredericksburg, the casualty lists indicate that the corps took into action 31 regiments 
and 5 batteries, with a loss of 111 killed, 1,067 wounded, and 152 missing ; total, 1,330. Not 
long after this battle General Sedgwick was assigned to the command of the corps, and General 
Willcox returned to the connuand of his division, relieving General Burns. On February 5, 
1863. Sedgwick was succeeded by General W. F. Smith, and on the 12th the corps was ordered 
to Newport News, where it was pleasantly encamped for a month. General Smith's stay with 
the corps was of short duration, for he was succeeded in the following month by General John 
G. Parke. While at Newport News, Getty's (3d) Division was detached and ordered to Suffolk, 
N. C, where it was subsequently incorporated in the Seventh Corps. It never i-ejoined its old 
command, although, in 1864, two of its regiments, the Fourth Rhode Island and Ninth New 
Hampshire, were i estored to the Ninth Corps. 

In the meantime. General Burnside had been assigned to the command of the Department 
of Ohio, a district which included Kentucky and East Tennessee. He obtained permission for 
the transfer of his old corps to this field of operations, and, so, on the 19th of March, 1863, 
General Parke was ordered to proceed there with his two remaining divisions, Willcox's and 
Sturgis's. Just prior to the departure from Virginia, General Sturgis was relieved, and General 
Robert B. Potter was assigned to the command of the Second Division. The Ninth Corps 
was stationed in Kentucky for two months, during which it served as an army of occupation, 
its pleasant quarters and light duty making it the most enjoyable period within its experience. 
In June it was ordered to the support of Grant, who was then besieging Vicksburg, and pro- 
ceeding there promptly, it participated in the investment of that place, although not under 
fire. Upon the surrender of Vicksburg, Parke's two divisions joined the main army in its 
movement on Jackson, and became engaged in the fighting there, with a loss of 34 killed, 229 
wounded, and 28 missing ; total, 291. The First Division was then under command of General 
Thomas Welsh, General Willcox having been assigned to duty in Indiana. Although the 
Vicksburg campaign had not cost the corps the bloody tribute exacted in previous campaigns, 
still it was no less destructive of life, as disease made fearful inroads in the ranks. Among 
those who succumbed to the deadly malaiia of the Vicksburg camps, was General Welsh, 
who, soon after, went home to die. 

The corps left Mississippi in August, 1863, and returned to Kentucky, where, after a short 
rest, it joined in Burnside's advance into East Tennessee, a movement which had already been 
commenced. The two divisions were now reduced to about 6,000 men. General Parke having 
been made chief of staff of the Army of the Ohio, General Robert B. Potter succeeded to the 
command of the corps, with Generals Hartrauf t and Ferrero in command of the two divisions. 



The Nixth C(ikps. 83 

Ferrero's Division had a sharp httle fight at Bkie Springs, Tenn., October 10, 1863, and the 
whole corps was engaged, November Kith, at Campbell's Station. This was followed by the 
occupatiou of Knoxville and the gallant defence against Longstreet's forces, terminating, 
December 5th, in the defeat and withdrawal of the enemy. The campaign in East Tennessee 
was a memorable one by reason of the Siege of Knoxville, and the unparalleled privations 
endured by the men. General Willcox resumed conmiand of the corps on January 17, 1864, 
relieving General Potter ; on the 26th, Parke relieved Willcox, who then took command of 
the Second Division. 

General Burnside was again assigned to duty as commander of his old corps, which 
was ordered to I'epair to Annapolis, Md., for reorganization. In April, the corps was assem- 
bled there, and was composed of the four divisions of Stevenson, Potter, Willcox, and 
Ferrero, the latter division being composed wholly of colored troops. The corps numbered 
19,331, present for duty, with 42 pieces of field artillery ; but this number was soon increased, 
the return of May 10th showing a strength of 22,708. In addition to the four divisions, with 
their two batteries each, there was a brigade of reserve artillery of 6 batteries, and, also, a 
provisional brigade of heavy artillerymen and dismounted cavalry. In all, there were 42 
regiments of foot, and 14 batteries of hght artillery. Ferrero's Colored Division had never 
been under fire, while many of the white regiments in the corps were newly organized, or 
had served previously on garrison duty only. In the ranks of the old regiments were many 
recruits and conscripts. 

In the battle of the Wilderness the coi-ps lost 240 killed, 1,232 wounded, 168 missing ; 
total, 1,640; and, at Spotsylvania, 486 killed, 2,119 wounded, 469 missing; total, 3,146; 
the heaviest loss at Spotsylvania occurring in the action of May 12th. General Stevenson 
was killed at Spotsylvania, May 10th, and Major-General Thomas L. Crittenden, formerly 
commander of the Twenty-first Corps, was assigned to the command of Stevenson's (1st) 
Division. During the Wilderness campaigni, prior to the battle of the North Anna, the 
Ninth Corps was not included in the Army of the Potomac, but was a separate, independent 
command, reporting directly to General Grant. This proved to be a faulty arrangement, 
and, so, General Burnside, with General Parke, his chief -of-staff, waived the question of their 
superiority of rank over General Meade, in order that the corps might serve under that 
officer in the Ai-my of the Potomac. At Burnside's suggestion, an order was issued by 
General Grant, on May 25th, incorporating the Ninth Corps with the main Army. 

On the 9th of June, whde at Cold Harbor, General Crittenden was relieved at his own 
request, and General Ledlie was i^laced in command of the First Division. In the first 
assault on Petersburg, June 17th, the corps made a brilliant attack. Potter's Division gaining 
possession of the works ; unfortunately, the division was obliged to rehnquish its foothold 
for want of proper support. The corps was engaged in a similar attempt on the following 
day, the losses in Potter's and Willcox's Divisions being unusually severe in proportion to the 
number engaged. Loss, 497 killed, 2,232 wounded, and 262 missing ; total, 2,991. 

The enemy's works proving too strong for assault, the army intrenched itself prepara- 
tory to the ten months siege which followed. On June 19th, Ferrero's (4th) Division of colored 
troops rejoined the corps, having been absent during the whole of the previous campaign, 
engaged on duty at the rear. Ferrero's men were now placed in the trenches with the other 
three divisions. The part of the line occupied by the Ninth Corps was very near the enemy's 
works, and an incessant firing was kept n\) daring the siege, resulting in a daily loss of men, 
killed or wounded. While there was a comparative quiet in front of the other corps posi- 
tions, the men of the Ninth were subjected to the terrible strain of a constant watchfulness 
and deadly exposure. The enemy seemed to be excited to an undue activity by the presence 
of Ferrero's Colored Division. 



84 Regimental Losses in the Civil Wae. 

Tlie Ninth Corps was prominently connected with tlie siege, by reason of the immense 
mine which was dug from within and in front of its line. This mine, wliich was excavated 
by the iSth Pennsylvania, of Potter's Division, was successfully exploded, but the assault 
Avhich followed was a failure. During this assault Ferrero's colored regiments went into 
action and fought well, acquitting themselves creditably ; their failure, like that of the white 
regiments in this affair, resulted from causes outside of the regiments themselves. The loss 
in the Ninth Corps at the mine, was 473 killed, 1,646 wounded, 1,356 missing ; total, 3,475. 
Immediately after this engagement. General Ledlie was relieved from command of the First 
Division, and GeneralJulius White, of the Twenty-third Corps, was assigned lo Ledlie's place. 

On the 13th of August, 1864, General Burnside was granted a leave of absence ; he never 
rejoined the corps, but was succeeded by General Parke, who remained in command until the 
close of the war. At the battle of the Weldon Railroad, August 19 -'Jl, 1864, the three divis- 
ions of White, Potter, and Willcox were engaged with considerable loss, although the three 
combined numbered less than 6,000 nmskets ; casualties, 60 killed, 315 wounded, and 218 
missing. By this time the divisions had become so reduced in numbers that a reorganization 
of the corps became necessary, and so the regiments in White's Division were transferred to 
the divisions of Potter and Willcox. Under tliis ai-rangement Willcox's Division was num- 
bei'ed as the First ; Potter's, as the Second ; Ferrero's colored troops were designated as the 
Third Division. _ But, in December, Ferrero's Division was permanently detached, and most 
of his regiments were transferred to the newly-organized Twenty-fifth Corps, which was 
composed entirely of colored troops. General Ferreio, himself, was assigned to a provisional 
command at Bermuda Hundred. 

The vacancy caused by detaching Ferrero's Division was filled by six new regiments of 
Pennsylvanians — one-year men — organized into a division of two brigades, the command 
of which was given to General John F. Hartranft. This division rendered gallant service at 
Fort Stedman, and Hartranft added to his laurels by the ability displayed at that critical 
juncture. 

The morning report for March 31, 1865, sliowed a corps strength of 18,153, "present for 
duty, equipped," and 36 pieces of light artillery. With this force the Ninth Corps entered upon 
the final campaign, taking a prominent part in the storming of Petersburg, April 2, 1865, 
Avhich resulted in the evacuation of Richmond and the downfall of the Confederacy. The 
corps was not onlj^ among the foremost in this brilliant assault, but its flags were the first to 
wave over the pul)lic buildings of Petersburg. This was the last battle in which the corps 
participated, and on July 27, 1S65, the existence of the Ninth Corps was officially terminated. 



TENTH CORPS. 

Jaiies Island ; Pocotaligo ; Morris Island ; Fort Wagner ; Olustek : Walthall 
Junction ; Chester Station ; Proctor's Creek ; Drewry's Bluff ; Cold Harbor ; Ber- 
muda Hundred ; Ware Bottom Church ; Petersburg ; Straavberry Plains ; Deep Bot-

Organized under General Orders No. 123, September 3, 1862, which designated the forces 
in the Department of the South as the Tenth Army Corps, and assigned Major-General O. 
M. Mitchel to its command. These troops were stationed principally at Hilton Head, S. C, 
and Beaufort, S. C, the order including also the troops at Fort Pulaski, Ga., Key West, Fla., 
Fernandina, Fla., and St. Augustine, Fla. ; iu all, 14,602, present and absent, Avith 10,190 



Thk Tenth Corps. S5 

pi-esent for duty. There were li regiments of infantry, 1 of engineers, a battalion of cavalry, 
and the usual compliment of light batteries. 

General Mitcbel died, October 30, lSG-2, and was succeeded by General J. M. Brajinan. In 
January, 18G3, General David Hunter relieved Brannan, and assumed command of the 
department; Hunter was relieved on June 3, 1863, and General Quincy A. Gillmore was 
assigned to the command of the corps. The total, present for duty, in June, 1863, was 16,329, 
including artillery and cavalry. The troo]3s at Hilton Head were commanded by General 
Alfred H. Terry ; those on Folly Island, by General Israel Vogdes ; those at Beaufort, by 
General Rufus Saxtou ; at Seabrook Island, by General T. J. Stevenson ; at St. Helena Island, 
by Colonel H. R. Guss. 

These forces were all under General Gillmore, and participated in the various operations 
about Charleston Harbor in the summer of 1863, the principal event being the bloody assault 
on Fort Wagner, Julyl^, 1863. This assault was made by a column of three brigades, — 
Strong's, Putnam's, and Stevenson's, the whole under command of General Truman H. Sey- 
mour. General Strong's brigade led the assault, with the r)4th Massachusetts (Colored) at the 
head of his colunm. The attack was a failure, resulting in a loss of 246 killed, 880 wounded, 
and 389 missing ; total, 1,515. The most of the missing were killed or wounded, but few of 
them ever returning. To this loss should be added 339 casualties, which occurred in an attack 
on Fort Wagner, July 11th, a week before, an attempt made by three regiments only. Two 
of the three brigade commanders. General Strong and Colonel Putnam, were killed in the 
assault of the 18th, Putnam falling after he had effected an entrance into the fort. Steven- 
son's Brigade was held mainly in reserve. 

In February, 1864, Seymour's Division, of about 7,000 men, sailed for Florida, where it 
was engaged on the 20th in the battle of Olustee, a defeat in which some of the regiments 
suffered terribly. In April, 1804, the Tentli Corps was ordered to Virginia, where it was 
placed in General Butler's Army of the James, which was composed of the Tenth and 
Eighteenth Corps. The Tenth assembled at Yorktown, Va., where it was organized into tb<^ 
three divisions of Terry, Turnei-, and Ames, numbering, as present for duty, 16,812 infantry, 
and 1,114 artillerymen, with 46 guns. 

The Army of the James landed at Bermuda Hundred, May 6, 1804, and a month of active 
service and hard fighting immediately commenced, the Tenth Coi'ps losing in its operations 
around Drewry's Bluff, 374 killed, 2,475 wounded, and 807 missing ; total, 3,656. Butler's 
operations resulting in nothing but failures. General Grant ordered the greater part of his forces 
to the support of the Army of the Potomac. Accordingly, on the 29th of May, General W. 
F. Smith, commanding the Eighteenth Corps, took the First (Brooks') and Second (Martin- 
dale's) Divisions of his own corps, and the Second (Devens') and Third (Ames') Divisions of 
the Tenth Corps, and proceeded to Cold Harbor, where these divisions cooperated with the 
Army of the Potomac in the terrible fighting which commenced immediately upon their arrival. 
While at Cold Hai-bor, these two divisions of the Tenth Corps were known as part of the 
Eighteenth Corps, forming the Third Division, under command of General Devens. Upon the 
close of the lighting at Cold Harbor, the two divisions returned by water transports to 
Bermuda Hundred, but consolidated as the Second Division, Tenth A. C* 

On the 14th of August, the Tenth Corps, under command of General David B. Birney, 
crossed the James and became engaged with the enemy at Deep Bottom, General Terry's 
division taking a prominent part in this action. The casualties in the corps were : 213 killed, 
1,154 wounded, 311 missing ; total, 1,678. On September 29th, Birney crossed again with his 
corps, and fought at Chaffin's Farm, his command consisting of Terry's and Ames' divisions, 
together with a brigade of colored troops, under General William Birney. Loss : 74 killed, 
587 wounded, 302 missing ; total, 903. In the unsuccessful attack on Fort Gilmer, and at 

*Adivision of ()hi(i troops - hundred-days" men- was attached temporarily to the .iorjis on June 10, ISIH, as a Third Division. 



86 Regimental Losses in the Civ^il War. 

Newmarket heights, these colored troojjs displayed great gallantry. General David B. Birney 
died at Philadelphia, October IS, lS6i, and was succeeded by General Terry, who was in 
command of the corps during the fighting on the Darbytown Eoad, and at the battle of Fair 
Oaks, October 27, 1864. 

On December 3, 18('>-t, the corps was discontinued, and its regiments were assigned to the 
newly formed Twenty-fourth Corps, which was composed of the white troops from the Tenth 
and Eighteenth Corps. But immediately after this transfer, Ames' Division, together with 
Abbott's Brigade of this new corps, were detached and ordered on the Fort Fisher expedition. 
After the brilliant capture of Fort Fisher by these troops, they remained in North Carolina, 
and, in March, ]8(35, the Tenth Corps was revived. As reorganized, it consisted of Birge's 
(1st) Division, composed of three brigades taken from Grover's Division of the Nineteenth 
Corps, then stationed at Savannah ; of Ames' (2nd) Division, composed of the troops which 
fought at Fort Fisher ; of Paine's (3d) Division, colored troops ; and of Abbott's Separate 
Brigade, numbering in all 12,099 men. General Terry, who was in command at the victory 
of Fort Fisher, was placed at the head of the corps. But the war was then near its close, 
and in August, 1SG5, the organization was discontinued. 

ELEVENTH CORPS. 

McDowell ; Cross Keys ; Cedar Mountain ; Freeman's Ford ; Sulphur Springs ; 
Manassas ; Chancellorsville ; Gettysburg ; Wauhatchie ; Lookout Mountain ; Mis- 
sionary Ridge. 

On June 26, 1862, President Lincoln ordered that "the troops of the Mountain Depart- 
ment, heretofore under command of General Fremont, shall constitute the First Army Corps, 
under the command of General Fremont." The corps thus formed was, for the most part, the 
same as the one afterwards known as the Eleventh Corps, and within a short time it was 
officially designated as such. This order of President Lincoln was included in the one con- 
stituting Pope's Army of Virginia, which was formed from the three commands of Fremont, 
Banks, and McDowell. Fremont's troops had seen considerable service in Western Virginia, 
having done some hard fighting at McDowell, and at Cross Keys. General Franz Sigel 
succeeded to Fremont's command on June 29, 1862, and was in command at Manassas, where 
the corps encountered more hard fighting, losing 295 killed, 1,361 wounded, and 431 missing ; 
total, 2,087. At this time the three divisions were commanded by Generals Schenck, Von 
Steinwehr, and Schurz ; there was, also, an independent brigade attached, under command of 
General Milroy. 

By General Orders No. 129, September 12, 1862, its designation was changed to that of 
the Eleventh, a necessary change, as McDowell's command had resumed its original title of 
the First Army Corps. During General McClellan's Maryland campaign, and during the fall 
of 1862, the Eleventh Corps remained in Northern Virginia, in front of Washington, occupy- 
ing various important outposts in the vicinity of Centreville. In December, it marched to 
Fredericksburg in support of Burnside, but was not present at the battle, after which it went 
into winter-quarters at Stafford, Va. General Sigel having asked to be relieved, General 0. 
0. Howard was appointed in his place. 

General Howard commanded the corps at Chancellorsville, May 1 -3, 1863, at which time 
it numbered 12,169 effectives, and was composed of the divisions of Generals Devens, Von 
Steinwehr, and Schurz. It contained 27 regiments of infantry, of which 13 were German 
regiments. The men of the Eleventh Corps were good soldiers, — for the most part tried and 
veteran troops, and were in no way responsible for the disaster which befell them at Chan- 
celloi'sville. Their commander in that l)attle allowed liiinself to be surprised. He was not

only surprised, but he had made a very faulty disp(3sition of his troops. The men were not 
only attacked without a warning shot, but were taken at a terrible disadvantage. Anything 
beyond a brief resistance was impossible, and they were obliged to abandon their position as 
any other corps nuist have done under the same circumstances. Still, some of the brigades 
changed front under the attack, and made a gallant resistance for over an hour, seriously 
retarding the enemy's onset, after which they retired slowly and in good order. The loss of 
the corps at Chancellorsville was 217 killed, 1,218 wounded, and 972 captured or missing ; 
total, 2,407. 

At Getty.sburg the corps was still under the command of Howard ; tlie divisions were 
under Generals Barlow, Steinwehr, and Schurz, and contained 26 regiments of infantry 
and 5 batteries. It was engaged, in company with the First Corps, in the battle of the 
first day, and, on the second day, it participated in the gallant defence of Cemetery Hill. 
On the day before the battle of Gettysburg, the corps reported 10,576 officers and men for 
duty; its loss in that battle was 368 killed, 1,922 wounded, and 1,511 captured or missing; 
total, 3,801, out of less than 9,000 engaged. 

It accompanied the Army on the return to Virginia after Gettysburg, and, on August 
7th, the First Division (Schimmelfennig's) was permanently detached, having been ordered 
to Charleston Harbor. On the 24th of September, the Second and Third divisions (Stein- 
wehr's and Schurz') were ordered to Tennessee, together with the Twelfth Corps. These 
two corps, numbering over 20,000 men, were transported, within a week, over 1,200 miles, 
and placed on the banks of the Tennessee River, at Bridgeport, without an accident or deten- 
tion. 

During the following month, on October 28th, Howard's two divisions were ordered to 
the support of the Twelfth Corps, in the midnight battle at Wauhatchie, Tenn. Arriving 
there. Smith's Brigade of Steinwehr's Division charged up a steep hill in the face of the 
enemy, receiving but not returning the fire, and drove Longstreet's veterans out of their 
intrenchments, using the bayonet alone. Some of the regiments in this affair suffered a 
severe loss, but their extraordinary gallantry won extravagant expressions of praise from 
various generals, high in rank, including General Grant. A part of the Eleventh Corps was 
also actively engaged at Missionary Ridge, where it cooperated with Sherman's forces on the 
left. After this battle it was ordered to East Tennessee for the relief of Knoxville, a cam- 
paign whose hardships and privations exceeded anything within the previous exjaerience of 
the command. 

In April, 1864, the two divisions of the Eleventh Corps were broken up and transferred 
to the newly-formed Twentieth Coi-ps. General Howard was transferred to the command of 
the Fourth Corps, and, subsequently, was honoi'ed by a promotion to the command of the 
Army of the Tennessee.

The corps that never lost a color or a gun. When its designation was changed to the 
Twentieth, it still preserved unbroken the same grand record. The veteran divisions of 
Williams and Geary wore their star-badges through all the bloody battles of the Atlanta 
campaign and the Carolinas, and still kept their proud claim good, marching northward 
to the grand review witli the same banners tbat bad waved at Antietam and Lookout

None were missing. 

The organization of the Twelfth Corps may be considered as dating from the General 
Order of March 13, 1S62, under which the coips formation of the Army of the Potomac was 
first created. By that order, five dilferent corps were constituted, one of which, composed 
of the divisions of Williams and Shields, and commanded by General Banks, was designated 
as the Fifth. These divisions were then operating in the Shenandoah Valley. On the 26th 
of June, the President ordered that "the troops of the Shenandoah Department, now under 
General Banks, shall constitute the Second Army Corps" of the Army of Virginia. On 
September 12th, General Order 129, it was ordered that its designation be changed to that of 
the Twelfth Corps, and that General Josei)h K. Mansfield be placed in command. 

In the meantime the corps had done considerable hard fighting under its former title. 
Shields' Division won a brilliant victory over Stonewall Jackson at Kernstown, Va., on the 
23d of March, and Williams' Division fought well at Winchester, May 25th, while on Banks' 
retreat. The battle of Cedar Mountain was also fought by this corps, alone and unassisted ; 
and, although defeated by the overAvhelming force of the enemy, the record shows that the 
two divisions did there some of the best fighting of the War. In that battle the divisions 
were commanded by Generals Williams and Augur ; loss, 302 killed, 1,320 wounded, and 59-i 
missing ; total, 2,216, out of less than 6,000 engaged. This loss fell on four brigades, Craw- 
ford's Brigade losing SG7 men out of 1679, reported by Crawford as "present in engagement." 
At Manassas the corps was held in reserve. 

It participated in the Antietam campaign under its proper designation, as the Twelfth 
Corps, with the veteran Mansfield in command. Its division and brigade organization was 
the same as at Cedar Mountain ; General George S. Greene had succeeded General Augur in 
the command of the Second Division. Its depleted columns had been strengthened by the 
accession of five new regiments of volunteers, fresh from the North, three of which were 
composed of Pennsylvanians, enlisted for nine months only. The corps now numbered 12,300 
present for duty, including the non-combatants ; it contained 22 regiments of infantry, and 3 
batteries of light artillery. It was the smallest corps in the Army. 

It was not engaged at South Mountain, although it marched thither in plain view of the 
battle which was raging oir the mountain's side, ahead of its dusty columns. At Antietam, 
it entered the fight early in tlie morning, and carried a position near, and in front of, the 
Dunker Church. General Mansfield fell, mortally Avounded, while deploying his columns, and 
the command of the corps during the battle devolved on General Williams. The two divisions 
lost in this battle, 275 killed, l,3sri wounde<l, and S5 missing ; total, 1,74:6, out of about 8,000 
jaresent in action. 

The vacancy caused by the death of General Mansfield was filled by the appointment of 
Major-General Henry W. Slocum, a division general of the Sixth Corps, who had already 
achieved a brilliant reputation by his services on the Peninsula, and at the successful storming 
of Crampton's Gap. The Twelfth Corps remained in the vicinity of Harper's Ferry until 
December, when it moved into Virginia, and made its Avinter-qiiarters at Stafford Court House. 

The brunt of the battle of Chancellorsville fell on the Third and Twelfth Corps ; and yet 
amid all the rout and confusion of that disastrous battle the regiments of the Twelfth Corps 
moved steadily with unbroken frontss, retiring at the close of the battle Avithout the loss of a 
color, AA^iile the corps' artillery, after having been engaged in the close fighting at the Chan- 
cellor House, Avithdrew in good order, taking eA^ery gun Avith them. In this campaign 
Slocum's troops Avere the first to cross theRapidan, and the last to re-cross the Rappahannock. 
The corps at this time contained 30 regiments of infantry, Avith 5 batteries of light artillery, 
nnml)ering in all 12,!t2'.> present for duty. Its losses at Chancellorsville amounted to 260

The Twelfth Corps. 89 

killed, 1,436 wounded, and 1,11S missing; total, 2,814. The hardest fighting and heaviest 
losses fell on Kuger's and Candy's brigades. The divisions were commanded by Generals 
Williams and Geary. 

At Gettysburg, the Twelfth Corps distinguished itself by its gallant defence of Gulp's 
Hill. At one time during the battle, the corps having been ordered to reenforce a distant part 
of the line, Greene's Brigade, of Geary's Division, was left behind to hold this important 
point. While occupying this position on Gulp's Hill, with no other troops in support, Greene 
was attacked by Johnson's Division, but the attack was successfully repulsed. The details of 
this particular action form an interesting chapter in the history of the war. Still, some of 
Jolinson's troops effected, without opposition, a lodgment in the vacated breastworks of the 
Twelfth Corps, and upon the return of those troops a desperate battle ensued to drive the 
Confederates out. After a long, hard fight the corps succeeded in re-occupying its works. 
On no part of the field did the Confederate dead lie thicker than in front of the Twelfth Corps 
position. Johnson's Division, containing 22 regiments, lost in this particular action, 229 killed, 
1,269 wounded, and 375 missing ; total, 1,873.* To this must be added whatever loss occurred 
in Smith's, Daniel's, and O'Neil's brigade, — containing 14 regiments, — which were sent to 
Johnson's support. The Twelfth Corps, containing 28 regiments, lost 204 killed, 810 wounded, 
and C7 missing ; total, 1,081. General Slocum was in command of the right wing at Gettys- 
burg, which left General A. S. Williams, of the First Division, in command of the corps ; 
General Thos. H. Ruger of the Third Brigade, First Division, took Williams' place as com- 
mander of the " Red Star " Division ; General Geary commanded the "White Star," or Second 
Division. 

The Army followed Lee into Virginia, the Twelfth Corps joining in the pursuit, and 
pushing forward until it reached the Rappahannock. While encamped there, on the 23d of 
September, 1863, the Eleventh and Twelfth corps were detached from the Army of the 
Potomac and ordered to Tennessee as a reinforcement for Rosecrans. The two corps were 
placed under command of General Hooker. Arriving in Tennessee, Geary's Division moved 
to the front, while Williams' Division was stationed along the railroad from Murfreesboro to 
Biidgeport. Geary pushed on in order to effect a junction with the beleaguered army at 
Chattanooga. On the niglit of Oct. 27th, his division, the " White Stars," bivouacked in Look- 
out Valley, in an advanced and isolated position, where he was attacked at midnight by a 
part of Longstreet's command. But Geary liad taken proper precautions against surprise, 
and the enemy were defeated, Geary receiving in this affair a prompt and gallant support 
from part of the Eleventh Corps. General Thomas, commanding the Army of the Cumber- 
land, stated in his official report that "the repulse by Geary's Division of greatly superior 
numbers who attempted to surprise liim, will rank among the most distinguished feats of 
arms of this war." 

The midnight battle of Wauhatchie was followed in the next month by the brilliant 
victory at Lookout Mountain, wliere the " White Star" Division fought its famous battle above 
the clouds. Geary was assisted in this engagement by Whitaker's Brigade, of the Fourth 
Corps, one of Whitaker's regiments, the Eighth Kentucky, being the first to plant its flag 
on the summit of the mountain. 

In April, 1864, the designation of the corps was changed to that of the Twentieth. 
Generals Williams and Geary still retained command of their divisions, and the men still 
wore their Twelfth Corps badge. This badge (the star) was adopted by the reorganized 
corps. The new organization was formed by the consolidation of the Eleventh and Twelfth 
coi-ps, to which was added some minor commands. The action of the War Department in

striking out the Twelfth Corps number was stupid, unnecessary, and unjust. If done out 
of consideration for tlie Eleventh, it was a mistake ; for the men of that corps expressed 
themselves freely that, their own divisions having been broken up, they would have gladly 
taken the Twelfth Corps title as well as its honored badge. They knew that cori^s ; they had 
fought by its side. They knew nothing of the Twentieth. 

Upon the discontinuance of the Twelfth Coi-ps, General Slocum was assigned to the 
command of the District of Vicksburg, but resumed the coi-ps command— of the Twentieth 
Corps — during the Atlanta campaign, General Hooker having been relieved. Slocum after- 
wards commanded the Army of Georgia while on the March to the Sea, and in the battles of 
the Carolinas. He_ was, pre-eminently, one of the ablest generals of the war ; he made no 
mistakes ; wherever he was in command, everything went well. His troops had unbounded 
confidence in his ability, and always went into action with perfect confidence ; they felt that 
with him, there would be no surprise, no rout, no defeat. 

The Twelfth Corps was small, but was composed of excellent material. Among its 
regiments were the Second Massachusetts, Seventh Ohio, Fifth Connecticut, One Hundred 
and Seventh New York, Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania, Third AVisconsin, and others equally 
famous as crack regiments ; all of them with names familiar as household words in the 
comnuuiities from which tliey were recruited. 

THIETEENTH CORPS. 

Chickasaw Bluffs ; Arkansas Post ; Port Gibson (Magnolia' Hills) ; Champion's 
Hill; Big Black River Bridge; Vicksburg Assault, May 19th; Vicksburg Assault, 
May 22nd ; Siege of Vicksburg ; Siege of Jackson ; Helena ; Grand Coteau ; Cane 
River ; Cloutiersville ; Sabine Cross Roads ; Spanish Fort ; Fort Blakely. 

The Thirteenth and Fourteenth corps were the first ones organized in the Western armies. 
They were created on the same date, October 24, 1862, by General Order No. 108, War Depart- 
ment, which ordered that "the troops under the command of Major-General Grant will 
constitute the Thirteenth Army Corps." As these troops included the whole Army of the 
Tennessee, it became necessary to subdivide the corps, which was done December 18, 1862, and 
four organizations, the Thirteenth, Fifteenth, Sixteenth, and Seventeenth corps were accord- 
ingly formed, with General John A. McClernand in command of the Thirteenth. In the 
meantime. General Sherman, with a portion of the Thirteenth Corps, the right wing, 
embarked at Memjihis on the Yazoo Expedition, during wiiich he made an unsuccessful 
assault on the outer works of Vicksburg, at Chickasaw Bluffs. Loss, 208 killed, 1,005 wounded, 
and 563 missing; total, 1,770, out of 33 regiments engaged. The forces consisted of the 
divisions of Generals A. J. Smith, Moi-gan L. Smith, George W. Morgan, and Frederick 
Steele, numbering 30,075 men. The regiments, with a few exceptions, were under fire for 
the first time. There was some close fighting done; "the flag of tlie Sixteenth Ohio was 
shot to tatters, only shreds remaining on the staff ; and the flag of the Twenty-second 
Kentucky was scarcely less torn, and not less dripping with blood." — [Official Report.] 

In January, McCUernand moved on an expedition against Arkansas Post, taking with him 
the Thirteenth and Fifteenth corps. He styled his forces, "the Army of the Mississippi," and 
designated them as the First and Second corps of the same. He placed General Morgan in 
temporary command of his own corps — the Thirteenth ; General Sherman was in command 
of the Fifteenth. The Confederate works at Arkansas Post were carried by storm, the losses 
in the Thirteenth Corps amounting to 48 killed, 397 wounded, nnd IS missing; total, 403, the 
luilk of which fell on Burbridge's Brigade of A. J. Smith's Division. Only two divisions 



The Thirteenth Corps. 91 

of the Thirteenth Corps— A. J. Smith's and Osterhaus'— participated in this expedition. 

Upon the ojDeuingof the campaign against Vicksburg, May 1, 1863, the Thirteenth Corps 
was composed of the four divisions of Osterhaus, A. J. Smith, Hovey, and Carr ; these were 
also known, respectively, as the Ninth, Tenth, Twelfth, and Fourteenth Divisions, having 
been numbered thus while in the Army of the Tennessee. The corps, as thus composed, con- 
tained 40 regiments of infantry, 11 batteries of light artillery, and companies of cavalry ; 
numbering in all 33,618, present and absent, with 18,215 pre.sent for duty. To this should be 
added Ross's (13th) Division, stationed in Arkansas, which also belonged to the Thirteenth 
Corps, but which did not take part in the Vicksburg campaign. This division fought the 
battle of Helena, Ark , July ■!, 1863. 

The battle of Port Gibson, May 1, 1S63, was fought almost entirely by the Thirteenth 
Corps, its losses in that action aggregating 125 killed, 678 wounded, and 23 missing ; total, 
826. The battle of Champion's Hill was fought by the Thirteenth and Seventeenth Corps, 
the former losing 231 killed, 987 wounded, and 115 missing; total, 1,363. The fighting at 
the Big Black Riv^er Bridge was a brilliant affair, in which tlie Thirteenth Corps alone par- 
ticipated ; loss, 39 killed, 237 wounded, and 3 missing; total, 279, the bulk of which occuri-ed 
in Lawler's Brigade of Carr's Division. In the first assault on Vicksburg, May 19th, the 
corps sustained a slight loss only; but in the grand assault of May 22d it suffered severely, 
losing 202 killed, 1,001- wounded, and 69 missing ; total, 1,275. During the first twenty-two 
days of the Vicksburg campaign, the corps lost 3,893 men in action, which was supplemented 
during the siege by heavy losses in the trenches. 

General McClernand was relieved from command on June 19th, by order of Genei-al 
Grant, and General E. 0. Ord was appointed in his place. Grant was displeased with the 
tone and character of a congratulatory order issued by McClernand to his troops, and as 
McClernand declined to amend it he was relieved. After the capitulation of Vicksburg the 
Thirteenth Corps, under General Ord, moved with the Army to Jackson, Miss., and assisted 
in the investment of that place. Carr's Division at this time was commanded by General 
William P. Benton. In the operations about Jackson the corps lost 85 killed, 5<U wounded, 
and 165 missing ; total, 751. This includes the loss in Lauman's Division, of the Sixteenth 
Corjjs, which was temporai'ily attached to the Thirteenth. 

Upon the evacuation of Jackson and retreat of the enemy, the corps returned to Vicksburg, 
and in the following month (August, 1863) moved on transports down the Mississippi to New 
Orleans. The troops were assigned to duty at various places in the Department of the Gulf, 
— in Texas and Louisiana. General Osterhaus was succeeded in command of his division by 
General C. C. Washburn. The Third and Fourth Divisions fought at Grand Coteau, La., 
November 3, 1863. The winter of 1863-4 was spent in the vicinity of New Orleans and the 
Lower Mississippi, a part of the corps being stationed in Texas. Corps headquarters were in 
Texas, but were moved to Alexandria, La., on the 18th of April, as the Third and Fomth 
Divisions had accompanied Banks on his Red River Expedition of April, 1864. General 
McClernand was again in command of the corps ; the Third Division was commanded by 
General Cameron, and the Fourth, by General Landram. The First and Second Divisions 
remained in Texas during the Red River Expedition, excepting Lawler's (2d) Brigade, of the 
First Division, which joined Banks' Army about the 20th of April. The Tliird and Fourth. 
Divisions of the Thirteenth Corps were actively engaged at the battle of Sabine Cross Roads, 
La., April 8, 1864, in which they sustained considerable loss. They were also engaged at Cane 
River, and at Cloutiersville, La. 

The corps organization was discontinued, June 11, 18(34, and the troops transferred to 
other commands. It was reorganized, Feb. IS, 1865, and Major-General Gordon Granger, of 
Chickamauga fame, was placed in command ; the divisions were commanded by Generals

Veatch, Aiidi-ews, and Benton. The corps j>n)cee(led to Mobile, and it participated in the 
investment of tliat city, and in tiie .storming of Foit Blakely, April it, lS(;."i, which was the 
last general engagement of the war. 

The Thirteenth Corps then moved to Selma, Ala., and thence to Galveston, Texas. Its 
existence terminated officially on the L'dth of July, l.sfi,5. The men of the Thirteenth never 
wore any corps badge; neither was tlicre any l)adge designated in official orders for their 
use. 

FOURTEENTH CORPS.

Mountain ; Peach Tree Creek ; Utoy Creek ; Siege of Atlanta ; Jonesboro ; Lovejoy's 
Station ; Sherman's March ; Siege of Savannah ; Averasboro ; Bentonville. 

The Fourteenth Corps was constituted under General Orders No. IGS, Oct. 2-i, 1S62, 
which directed that tiie troops in the Army of tiie Cumberland should he designated as the 
Fourteenth Corps, and that General Rosecrans be placed in command. These forces had" 
hitherto been styled the Army of the Ohio, and had been under the command of General 
Buell. It had fought under him at Shiloh, and at Chaplin Hills, the latter battle occurring 
October Stb, just prior to the order designating this army as the Fourteenth Corps. At the 
time of the battle of Cliaplin Hills, the Army of the Ohio had been divided, by order of Gen- 
eral Buell, into the Fi)-st, Second, and Third Corps, connnanded ivspectively by Major-Gener- 
als McCook, Crittenden a'nd Gilbert. Its losses at Chaplin Hills — or Perry ville — aggregated 
845 killed, 2,S51 wounded, and 515 missing ; total, 4.211. Over three-fourths of these casual- 
ties occuiTcd iu McCook's Corps, the loss in some of his regiments being unusually large. 

The Fourteenth Corps, at the time when it was first designated as such, embraced twelve 
divisions, containing 155 i-egiments of infantry, 1 regiment of engineers, 35 batteries of light 
artillery, and G regiments of cavalry. There are no returns showing its numerical strength 
at this time ; but, a return in December, lSi>-2, shows an aggregate of 123,402, present and 
absent, wath 06,795 present for duty.* 

Like the Thirteenth Corps, which was also constituted by General Order 168, the Four- 
teenth embraced an entire army ; and hence, like the Thirteenth, some further subdivision 
became necessary. On November 7th, General Rosecrans ordered that the corps be divided 
into the right wing, centre, and left wing, to the command of which Major-Generals McCook, 
Thomas, and (Crittenden were respectively assigned. The centre contained five divisions, 
while the right and left wings contained three divisions each. Three of the centre divisions 
were detached by General Rosecrans to protect his line of communications, and so the Four- 
teenth Corps took 8 divisions into action at Stone's River. The centre, under Thomas, was 
composed of Rousseau's and Negley's Divisions ; the right wing, under McCook, of Davis', 
Johnson's, and Sheridan's Divisions ; the left wing, under Crittmidon, of Wood's, Palmer's, 
and A^an Cleve's Divisions. Walker's Brigade of the Third Division, centre, was also present 
at Stone's River. These troops numbered 43,4(i i present for duty ; the loss in that battle 
amounted to 1,730 killed, 7,802 wounded, and 3,7J7 captured or missing ; total. 13.24'.i. Over 
25 per cent, were killed or wounded. 

By authority of the War Department — General Order No. — January 0, 18(k3, the right 
wing, centre, and left wing of the Fourteenth Corps were designated respectively as the 
Twentieth, Fourteenth and Twenty-first Army Corps, the commanding officers remaining

unchanged. As before, these three corps constituted the Army of the Cumberland. From this 
time on, the history of the Fourteenth Corps is hmited to the movements of the particular 
divisions under command of General Thomas. After the battle of Stone's Eiver, Eosecrans 
advanced his army to Murfreesboro, and encamped there. On June 23, 1863, orders were issued 
for another advance, during which the Fourteenth Corps was engaged in the fighting at 
Hoover's Gap, June 24 - 25. It was then composed of the four divisions of Eousseau, Negley, 
Brannan, and Eeynolds. Its losses at Hoover's Gap amounted to 27 killed, 177 wounded, and 
2 missing; total, 20C. 

Pushing on across the Cumberland Mountains in pursuit of Bragg, the Fourteenth was 
next engaged at Chickaniauga. General Baird had succeeded Eousseau in conmiand of the 
First Division. The four divisions then contained 51 regiments of infantry, and 12 batteries 
of light artillery. In the First Division was the Brigade of Eegulars which had distinguished 
itself by its gallantry and good fighting at Stone's Eiver. Tlie Fourteenth Corps numbered 
10,920 at Chickamauga ; itlost tliere W,i killed, 3,555 wounded, and 1,925 missing ; total, (>,144. 

In pursuance of an order from the President, dated Sept. 28, 1863, the Army of the 
Cumberland was reorganized. General Thomas succeeded Eosecrans, and Major-General 
John M. Palmer was placed in command of the Fourteenth Coi'ps. Under this reorganization 
tlie corps contained three divisions, — Johnson's, Davis' and Baird's, — and each division con- 
tained three brigades. Some of the brigades contained nine regiments ; but the regiments 
were small, and many of them sadly depleted. The corps roster on Oct. 20, 1863, showed 64 
regiments of infantry, and 9 batteries of liglit artillery. The corps fought at Missionary 
Eidge, Nov. 25, 1863, where it lost 140 killed, 787 wounded, and 14 missing; total, 941. In 
February, 1864, it was engaged in a sliarp reconnoissance at Dalton, Ga. 

On May 5, 1S64, it moved with Sherman's Army on the advance which was to culminate 
in the possession of Atlanta. The Fourteenth Corps took part in the opening battle of this 
campaign at Eesaca, and was prominently engaged in the final victory at Jouesboro. During 
the intervening four months it was actively engaged in tlie continuous marching and fighting 
which was so characteristic of that brilliant campaign. In August, while on the Atlanta 
campaign. General Palmer, the corps commander, was relieved upon his own request, and 
General Jefferson C. Davis, the commander of the Second Division, was appointed by the 
President to take Palmer's place. General James D. Morgan succeeded to the command of 
the Second Division. During the four months of the Atlanta campaign, the Army of the 
Cumberland — then composed of the Fourth, Fourteenth and Twentieth Corps — lost 3,041 
killed, 15,783 wounded, and 2,707 missing ; total, 'zl,o9L Of these casualties fully one-third 
occurred in the Fourteenth Corps. To this total must be added the heavy losses of the Army 
of the Tennessee, and the Army of the Ohio, in order to understand the extent of the fight- 
ing while on that campaign. 

After a short rest at Atlanta, and a short campaign in pursuit of Hood, the Fourteenth 
Corps moved with Sherman's Army, Nov. 15, 1864, on its march to the sea, the three divis- 
ions of the corps being under command of Generals Carlin, Morgan and Baird, and num- 
bering 13,962 present for duty. The march through Georgia to the sea was an uneventful one, 
and no fighting occurred. Savannah was occupied December 20tli, and in February, 1865, 
Sherman started on his march through the Carolinas. The Fourteenth Corps, together with 
the Twentieth, formed the Army of Georgia, General Slocum commanding both cor))s. On 
entering the Carolina campaign, February 1, 18(55, the Fourteenth reported its strength at 
14, 420, infantry and artillery, and contained 47 regiments of infantry, with 4 batteries of hght 
artillery. The battle of Bentonville, N. C, occurred March lit, 1S65, while on this campaign. 
It was a hard fought -battle, iu which the divisions of Carlin and Morgan, assisted by two 
brigades from WiUiams' (^Twentieth) Corps, did most all the fighting. This was the last bat-

tie in which the corps participated, and the veteran cokimns marched gayly on to the final 
review at Washington. The organization was ordered discontinued August 1, 1865.

The Fifteenth Corps was one of the organizations resulting from the partition of the 
Thirteenth Corps, December IS, 1S62. General William T. Sherman was assigned to its 
command. Part of the Fifteenth Corps — the divisions of Generals Steele and Morgan L. 
Smith, together with other troops — were engaged under Sherman at Chickasaw Bluffs in the 
first attempt on Vicksburg. The.se two divisions lost in that action, 144 killed, 579 wounded, 
and 18t) missing ; total, tU2. The entire loss of the Army at Chickasaw Bluffs was 1,776. 

A few days later these two divisions accompanied McClernand's expedition to Arkansas 
Post, a successful affair wliich resulted in the capture of that place. Genei-al Sherman was 
present with these two divisions of his corps ; General M. L. Smith having been severely 
wounded at Chickasaw Bluffs, his division was commanded at Arkansas Post by General 
David Stuart. The loss of the Fifteenth Corps in this affair was 86 killed, 501 wounded, and 
11 missing ; total, 5!»s. The loss of the entire Army was 1,0C-1. 

During the sjjring of 1SC3 the corps participated in the Bayou expeditions about Vicks- 
burg, preceding the campaign in the rear of that city. On that campaign the corps was 
composed of the three divisions of Steele, Blair, and Tuttle, numbered respectively as the 
First, Second, and Third Divisions ; they were previously known as the Eleventh, Fifth, and 
Eighth, of the Armj^ of the Tennessee. These three divisions contained 41 regiments of 
infantry, 7 batteries of light artillery (36 guns), and 5 companies of cavalry, numbering in all, 
15,975 present for duty, out of 19,238 present in the aggregate. Present and absent, it 
numbered 27,41ti men. 

Of the series of liattles in the rear of Vicksburg, the battle of Jackson, May 14, was the 
only one in which the Fifteenth Corps took part. In that action Tuttle's Division Avas slightly 
engaged, losing (> killed, 22 wounded, and 4 missing. The corps was engaged, next, in the 
investment of Vicksburg. In the assault of May 19th, it lost 134 killed, 571 wounded, and 8 
missing ; total, 713. In this assault the Fifteenth sustained the principal loss, the total of the 
casualties amounting to 942. In the general assault which occured three days later — May 
22d — the corps lost 150 killed, 666 wounded, and 42 missing ; total, 858. After the surren- 
der of Vicksburg, the Army moved on Jackson and invested that place, the corps losing 
there, — July 10-16th, — 10 killed, 32 wounded, and 38 missing. During the latter movement, 
the First Division was commanded by General John M. Thayer. 

After the evacuation of Jackson by the enemy, the Army returned to Vicksburg and its 
vicinity, the Fifteenth Corps encamping there vmtil the latter part of September, when it 
moved to Memphis. The; Third Division (Tuttle's) was left behind at Vicksburg, and it never 
rejoined the corps. Its place was taken by John E. Smith's Division (formerly Quinby's), 
Seventeenth Corps, whi(;h joined at Memphis and remained permanently attached, as the 
Third Division. William S. Smith's Division was detached from the Sixteenth Corps, in

September, and was also added to the Fifteenth Corps, becoming the Fourth Division. The 
faur divisions having been concentrated at Memphis, moved thence to Chattanooga, where 
they participated in the battles of Lookout Mountain and Missionary Ridge, November 23- 
25, 1863. General Frank P. Blair was in command of the corps, General Sherman having 
been promoted, October 27, 1803, to the command of tlie three corps composing the Army of 
the Tennessee. The four divisior^s of the Fifteenth Corps were commanded at Missionary 
Ridge by Generals Osterhaus, Morgan L. Smith, John E. Smith,*and Hugh Ewing. The 
losses of the corps in that battle, and in the minor actions connected with it, aggregated 295 
killed, 1,402 wounded, and 2!>2 missing; total 1,989. After this battle the corps marched to 
the relief of Knoxville, arriving there December (i, 18G3, two days after Longstreet's retreat. 
The corps then returned to Chattanooga, moving thence into Northern Alabama, where it 
went into winter quarters. 

Under command of General Logan, it was actively engaged on the Atlanta campaign of 
1864 ; its division commanders were Generals Osterhaus, Morgan L. Smith, John E. Smith, 
and Harrow. The Third Division (John E. Smith's) garrisoned points on Sherman's line of 
communication, and so was not present with the advancing columns. After the fall of 
Atlanta, Harrow's (4th) Division was consohdated with the others, and its place was taken by 
Corse's Division of the Sixteenth Corps. General Corse, with a provisional command from 
the Fifteenth Corps, made the famous defense of AUatoona Pass, an affair remarkable for 
the courageous, desperate fighting of commander, officers and men. 

On tlie 12th of November, 1864, the corps started with Sherman's Army on the march 
through Georgia to the sea. General Logan being absent, the corps was under the command 
of General Osterhaus ; the four divisions were conmianded by Generals C. R. Woods, Hazen, 
John E. Smith, and Corse. They contained 60 regiments of infantry, and 4 batteries, the 
infantry numbering 15,894, present for duty; it was the largest corps in the Army that 
marched to the sea. 

The Army of the Tennessee, under General Howard, formed the right wing of Sherman's 
Army as it marched thi-ough Georgia on its way to the sea, and was composed of the Fifteenth 
and Seventeenth Corps, only, that part of the Sixteenth Corps — 2 divisions — which had 
served with the Army of the Tennessee on the Atlanta campaign having been consolidated 
with the two other corjjs. Although the three other corps in Sherman's Army marched 
uninterrupted to the sea, the Fifteenth had a brisk engagement at Griswoldville, in which 
Walcutt's Brigade, of Woods' Division, I'epelled a determined attack ; and, again, upon 
reaching the sea, Hazen's Division was the one selected for the storming of Fort McAlUster. 

Savannah was evacuated December 21, 1864, after a short siege, and on the 1st of Feb- 
i-uary. Sherman's Army started on its grand, victorious march through the Carolinas. General 
Logan having returned, he was again in command of his corps, which now numbered 15,755, 
infantry and artillery. It encountered some fighting in forcing disputed crossings at some of 
the larger rivers, and captured Columbia, S. C, General C. R. Woods' Division occupying the 
city at the time it was burned. The corps was also in line at the battle of Bentonville, N. C, 
March 19, 1865 ; but Genei'al Slocum had won a substantial victory with his wing of the Army, 
and but little fighting, comparatively, devolved upon the Army of the Tennessee. 

Johnston's Army having surrendered April 26th, the corps continued its northward march, 
and, arriving at Washington May 2()th, participated in the Grand Review of May 24, 1865. 
It proceeded, June 2d, to Louisville, Ky., and in the latter part of that month the Second 
Division was ordered to Little Rock, Ark., where it served with the Army of Occupation. 
The organization was discontinued August 1, 1865. 

♦Smith's Division was still knowii, officially, as tbe Second Division, Seventeenth Corps.

Organized December 18, 1862, with Major-General S. A. Hurlbut in command, and was 
composed of the four divisions of Generals W. S. Smith, Dodge, Kimball, and Lauman. It 
numbered 50,659, present for duty in April, 1SG3, with 72,56'J present and absent. These 
troops were stationed in the vicinity of Memphis, La Grange, and Corinth until June, 1863, 
when the divisions of Smith, Kimball, and Lauman weie ordered to Vicksburg in response 
to Gi'ant's call for re-inforcements, and particijiated in the investment of that place. This 
detachment of the corps, while at Vicksburg, was placed under command of Major-General 
C. C. Washburn. 

It would be impossible to give anything like a connected history of the Sixteenth Corps 
from this time on, so many were the changes in its ranks, and so widely were its divisions 
scattered. The Sixteenth suffered more than any other corps by transfers of its divisions, — 
changes which prevented anything like a continuous organization, and well nigh destroyed 
its identity. Part of the corps served on the Atlanta campaign, while the other part was 
fighting in the Mississippi Valley. It was ordered discontinued in November, 1SG4-, but was 
re-established within a few weeks. An organization would be perfected one month, only to 
be broken up the next. The War Department evinced no conception of what was due to 
coi'ps organization or coi'ps pride, and the unfortunate brigades and divisions were transferred 
hither and thither, with as little consideration as if they were squads from some recruiting 
rendezvous instead of battle-tried divisions. 

The three divisions at Vicksburg were not engaged in any active fighting while there, 
having arrived after the seige was well under way. Laumau's and Smith's divisions, how- 
ever, fought at the Siege of Jackson, July 10-16, the fornn r division being attached tempo- 
rarily to the Thirteenth, and the latter, to the Ninth Corps. Smith's Division lost at Jaok- 
.son 12 killed, 124 wounded, and 13 missing ; total, l-t9. Laumau's Division lost 68 killed, 338 
wounded, and 14!) missing ; total, 555. Nearly all of Laumau's loss occurred in an ill- 
advised attack made by three regiments of Pugh's Brigade, for which Lauman was relieved 
from command. Many of Laumau's officers, however, have stoutly contended that he was 
not to blame. The enemy having evacuated Jackson, the Army returned to Vicksburg, 
where the troops remained for several weeks. In September, W. S. Smith's Division was 
transferred to the Fifteenth Corps, and Laumau's Division was transferred to the Seventeeth. 
In return, when the Fifteentli Corps moved to Chattanooga, Tuttle's Division of that corps 
was left at Vicksburg and assigned to tlie Sixteenth Corps. This latter division Avas com- 
manded, subsequently, by General Joseph A. Mower. 

Dodge's Division did not take part in the Vicksburg campaign, but remained at Corinth 
imtil November, when it moved A\-ith Slierman to the relief of Chattanooga, marching from 
Corinth to Pulaski, Tenn., where it was left to guard the Nashville & Decatur R. R., while 
Sherman with the Fifteenth corps moved on to Chattanooga. Two divisions, the Second 
and Fourth, commanded respectively by Generals Sweeny and Veatch, jmrticipated in the 
Atlanta campaign. May 1 to Sei)tember 4, 1864. These two divisions, or the Sixteenth Corps 
as it was designated, were under the command of ]\Iajor-General Grenville M. Dodge, and 

*Major-Genera1 A. J. Smith's command. 



The Seventeenth Corps. 07 

formed one of the three corps constituting the Army of the Tennessee. During the Atlanta 
caiupaign General Veatch was succeeded in the command of his division bv General John 
W. Fuller. 

. General Dodge's connnand was projninently engaged at Lay's Ferry, and in the bloody 
battle of Atlanta, July 22, IStM. After the fall of Atlanta his two divisions were transferred, 
Sweeny's (or Corse's) to the Fifteenth, and Fuller's to the Seventeenth C orps. 

In the meantime the right wing of the Sixteenth Corps, as it was called, had been left in 
the Mississippi Valley ; it was composed of the First (Mow^er's) and Second (A. J. Smith's) 
Divisions, the former being the one which was transfeiTed, in September, 1863, from the 
Fifteenth Corps. The greater part of Kimball's Division had been ordered into Arkansas, 
where it became incorporated in the Seventh Corps. In February, 1804, A. J. Smith's and 
Veatch's Divisions accompanied Sherman on his Meridian expedition. In April, Mower's and 
A. J. Smith's Divisions moved with Banks' expedition up the Red River, fighting at the battle 
of Pleasant Hill and in the various minor engagements incidental to that campaign. These 
two divisions had been ' ' loaned " to General Banks by Sherman, with an understanding that 
they should soon return ; but the disasters of Banks' campaign prolonged their stay until it 
was too late to rejoin the corps in time for the Atlanta campaign. Hence, the divided opei'a- 
tions of the Sixteenth Corps in 1864 ; the First and Third Divisions, under General A. J. 
Smith, fighting along the Mississippi, while the Second and Fourth Divisions, under Dodge, 
fought from Chattanooga to Atlanta. 

On November 7, 186-4, orders were issued for the discontinuance of the organization ; luit 
in December, 1864, General A. J. Smith and his two divisions turned up at the defense of 
Nashville, and participated in t!ie victory over Hood's Army ; casualties, 750. In this battle 
Smith's two divisions were commanded by Generals McArthur and Kenner Garrard. His 
command was designated as a " Detachment, Ai-my of the Tennessee," although it was still 
known as the Sixteenth Corps. 

It was reorganized Feb. 18, 1865, under its old designation and witli Major-Genei'al A. J. 
Smith in command. As reorganized, it had tln-ee divisions which were commanded by Gen- 
erals McArthur, Garrard and E. A. Carr. Proceeding to Mobile, it was engaged in the siege, 
and in the fighting at Spanish Fort and Fort Blakely, the latter being the last infantry 
engagement of the war. Fort Blakely was carried by assault, April 9, 1865, the day on 
which Lee surrendered at Appomattox. The corps organization was finally discontinued 
July 20, 1865. 

The men of the Sixteenth had for the most part seen plenty of service before the organi- 
zation of the corps. They had fought well at luka, CVn-inth and Hatchie River, and many of 
the regiments had been engaged at Fort Donelsou and Shiloh.

The Seventeenth Corps was organized December 18, 1802, under the same order which 
created the Fifteenth and Sixteentli Corps. It was composed of the divisions of Logan, 
McArthur and Quinby, — formerly the Third, Sixth and Seventh Divisions of Grant's Army, 
— and Major-General J. B. McFherson was assigned to its command. It was engaged in the 
operations on the Mississippi River prior to the campaign in the rear of Yicksburg, and then 
took a ])rominent part in the series of battles which ivsulted in the investment of that place. 
Its three divisions entered upon that campaign with 37 regiments of infantry, and 12 batteries 
((30 guns) of light artillery, — mimbering, in all, 15,848 officers and men present for duty. Its 
total enrollment, present and absent, amounted to 23,154. 

Logan's Division was engaged at the battle of Port Gibson (Magnolia HiUs), where it lost 
(i killed, 41 wounded, and 2 missing ; also at Raymond, where it was the only division in 
action, losing there GO killed, 339 wounded, and 37 missing. At the battle of Jackson, May 
14th, the brimt of the fight fell on the Seventeenth Corps and on Quinby's Division, which 
lost 36 killed, 22'J wounded, and :'. missing ; total, 268. General Quinby being absent on 
account of illness, his division was commanded thei'e by General Crocker. At Champion's 
Hill, both Logan's and Crocker's Divisions were engaged, losing in the aggregate 179 killed, 
857 wounded, and 42 missing ; total, 1,078. During these battles McArthur's Division had 
been absent on duty, but joined the coips in time for the first assault on Vicksburg, May 19, 
in which it lost Hi killed and 113 wounded. In the general assault of May 22d, the corps lost 
150 killed, 880 wounded, and 3G missing ; total, 1,006. It also sustained a severe loss in the 
trenches during the siege, and was engaged in the affair at Fort Hill, a strong earth- work in 
front of the corps position. This fort was successfully mined and blown up, June 25th, but 
the assaulting column was unable to letain their lodgment in the crater. Upon the surrender 
of Vicksburg, Logan's Division was accorded the honor of first entering and occupying the 
city, while the rest of the corps marched away with Sherman's Expedition against Jackson. 

That place having been captured, the Army returned to Vicksburg, where, in September, 
1863, the Fourth Division of the Sixteenth Corps (formerly Lauman's) was transferred to the 
Seventeenth, and placed under command of General M. M. Crocker. At the same tiriie, 
Quinby's Division was ti'ansferx-ed to the Fifteenth Corps. During the fall of 18G3, the corps 
took part in vai-ions raids and marches, and in February, I8i'>4, Crocker's and Leggett's Divis- 
ions accompanied Sherman's Army on the expedition from Vicksburg to Meridian, Miss., and 
on the return. Soon after this the coi-ps became divided, two divisions joining Sherman's 
Army in the advance on Atlanta, while the rest of the corps remained in the Mississijipi 
Valley. 

In May, 1804, the Third and Fourth Divisions Avtne assembled at HuntsviUe, Ala., from 
whence they marched through Georgia, and joined Sherman's Army on the 8th of June, at 
Ack worth, Ga. The corps was under the command of Major-General Frank P. Blair, General 
McPherson having been promoted to the command of the Army of the Tennessee, which 
comprised the Fifteenth, Sixteenth, and Seventeenth Corps. Blair's two divisions — the ones 
with Sherman's Army — were connnanded by Generals Leggett and Gresham, the latter 
officer succeeding General Crocker, who relinquished his command, May 27th, on account of 
ill health. Although Sherman's Army was well on its way to Atlanta, there was plenty of 
hard fighting left for the Seventeenth Corps. It was engaged with honor in the battle of 
Atlanta, July 22nd, which was one of the hardest contested fields in that campaign. General 
Gresham was badly wounded in this action, and General Giles A. Smith succeeded to the 

* Second, or Had Kiver pivisiim.

coinmand of the Fourth Division. After the fall of Atlanta, Fuller's Division of tlie Six- 
teenth Corps was transferred to the Seventeenth, hecoming its First Division, to the coinmand 
of which General Joseph A. Mower was soon after assigned. 

While on the March to the Sea, and daring Slierman's march througii tlie Carolinas, the 
corps remained under the command of General Blair, with its three divisions — First, Third, 
and Fourth — under Generals Mower, Leggett, and Giles A. Smith. Just before starting on 
the March to the Sea its morning reports showed 11,7:^ present foi- duty ; it then contained 
32 regiments of infantry and five light batteries. It encountered little or no fighting as it 
Avent marching through Georgia, but its advance through the Carolinas v/as marked by several 
minor engagements, culminating in the battle of Benton ville in which it was partially engaged. 
There were long, toilsome marches, also, with wide rivers to cross and swamps to wade, many 
of which were forded under tlie enemy's fire. 

After participating in the Grand Review at Washington at the close of the war, the Army 
of the Tennessee — Fifteenth and Seventeenth Army Coips — was ordered in June, 1S05, to 
Louisville, Ky. On the Cth of July, orders were issued to prepare the Army of the Tennessee 
for muster-out ; in a few weeks the ranks which had fought at Donelson, Shiloh, Corinth, 
Vicksburg, Atlanta, and in theCarohnas, moved noi'thward and disappeared. 

When the Seventeenth Corps started on the Atlanta campaign it left the First and Sec- 
ond Divisions in the Mississippi Valley, and the cori)s thus separated was not reunited. The 
place of the First Division was filled at Atlanta by the transfer from the Sixteenth Corps ; 
the place of the Second Division remained vacant, for that division continued to serve in the 
Department of the Mississippi as a part of the Seventeenth Corps. Six regiments from this 
division served on Banks' Red River Expedition in April, 1S6J-, the six regiments — formed 
into two brigades — being known then as a Provisional, or as the Red River Division of the 
Seventeenth Corps. It was commanded by General T. K. Smith. Parts of this division 
served, also, on McArthur's Yazoo City Expedition, May i-lo, isU-t, and on General Slocum's 
Expedition to Jackson, July 5-0, 1864. A few regiments were engaged, also, under Sturgis, 
at Brice's Cross Roads, and in General A. J. Smith's Expedition to Tupelo. The fighting in 
some of these campaigns was severe on certain regiments. 

In November, 1864, the Red River Division of the Seventeentli Corps accompanied General 
A. J. Smith's forces to Nashville, and took part in that famous battle and victory. Smith's 
troops consisted of two divisions of the Sixteentli Corps and this provisional division of the 
Seventeenth ; but the whole command was oflicially designated as a " Detachment, from the 
Army of the Tennessee," instead of by their corps numbers. Upon the reorganization of the 
Sixteenth Corps, prior to the Mobile camjiaign of 1S6.5, this division of the Seventeenth was 
merged in the larger organization of th;' Sixteenth ; hence, the Seventeenth Corps, in 1865. 
consisted of the three divisions then marching with Sherman northward through the Carolinas.

On December 24, 1862, the President ordered that the tioops in the Department of North 
Carolina should be organized into a corps and designated as the Eighteenth. These troops 
were stationed at Newberu, Plymouth, Beaufort, and vicinity. They included Peck's Division, 



100 Regimental Losses ix the Civil War. 

toniierlj of tlie Fomtli (Peninsular) Corps ; also, some regiments which had fought under 
Burnside at Roanoke Island and New Berne. There were, also, twelve regiments of nine- 
months men — six of them fi-om Massachusetts, and six from Pennsylvania — whose terms 
of enlistment expired in the summer of 1S63. Some of these nine months regiments had 
fought credital)ly at Kinston, Whitehall, and Goldshoro, in Decemher, 1S02, the same month 
in which the corps was organized. 

In February, 1803, the roster showed five divisions, commanded respectively by Generals 
Palmer, Naglee, Ferry, Wessells, and Prince, with Genei'al J. G. Foster in command of the 
corps. Ferry's and Naglee's Divisions — containing sixteen regiments — were detached in 
February, 18G3, and ordered to Charleston Harbor, where they were attached to the Tenth 
Corps, becoming subsecjuently a part of that organization. In June, 1SG3, the twelve regi- 
ments which had been enrolled for nine months only took their departure, their term of service 
having expired. In place of these losses the troops of the Seventh Corps were transferred, 
that organization having been discontinued August 1, 1S03. With the Seventh Corps came a 
valuable accession of veteran material in Getty's Division, formerly of the Ninth Corps. This 
division had been left in South-eastern Virginia when the Ninth Corps went to the West, and 
had been engaged, in the spring of 1863, in the defense of Suffolk against Longstreet's 
besieging Army. 

After the withdrawal of the enemy from the vicinity of Suffolk, there were no operations 
of consequence during the year 1863 in the Depai'tment of North Carolina, and the corps 
was left in quiet possession of the territory. There were, however, occasional reconnois- 
sances into the enemy's country, and some skirmishing at the outposts. 

In April, 1864:, the corps was concentrated at Yorktown, prei^aratory to the spring cam- 
paign of the Army of the James. That army was commanded by General Butler, and was 
composed of the Tenth and Eighteenth Corps. The Eighteenth, as organized for this cam- 
paign, contained 15,'J72 officers and men present for duty, including the artillery, which carried 
36 guns. It was commanded by William F. Smith, a Sixth Corps general, who had fought 
under McClellan, and who, later on, had achieved distinction through hif successful plan of 
the battles of Chattanooga. The corps contained three divisions, commanded by Generals 
Brooks, Weitzel and Hinks, the division of the latter being composed of colored troops. 
Butler's Army landed at Bermuda Hundred May 6, 1864, — the same day that Grant was 
fighting in the Wilderness, — and a series of bloody battles immediately followed, the princi- 
l)al one occmring May 16th, at Drewry's Bluff. The campaign was a short one, resulting in 
defeat, and Butler withdrew to his original position on the James River, the corps losing in 
these operations 213 killed, ],224- wounded and 742 missing ; total, 2,179. General Grant then 
ordered the Eighteenth Corps to reinforce the Army of the Potomac, and on May 27th it 
moved by transports down the James and up the York River to White House Landing, from 
whence it marched to Cold Harbor. Hinks' Division was left behind, and in its place, two divis- 
ions of the Tenth Corps, under General Devens, temi)orarily attached to the Eighteenth as a 
third division, moved with General Smith's command, the three divisions being commanded 
at Cold Harbor by Generals Brooks, Martindale and Devens. In that battle the Eighteenth 
Corps made a gallant attack on the enemy's intrenchments ; but, like the various other corps 
engaged, it was obliged to abandon the assault with heavy loss, its casualties at Cold Harbor 
amounted to 4:48 killed, 2,3(i.5 wounded, and 200 missing ; total, 3,019. 

On June 12th, General Smith's command withdrew from Cold Harbor, and, re-embarking, 
sailed for Bernmda Hundred, arriving there on the 14th. On the following day the Eighteenth 
Corps advanced to Petersburg and assaulted the works that evening, Hinks' Colored Division 
gaining a partial success and capturing several pieces of artillery. This was the first time in 
llie war in which colort'd troops, tu tUu e.xteiit of a brigade, were engaged in battle. 



Thk Nineteenth Corps. lOi 

After the failure of the assaults on Petersburg tlie Eighteenth Corps went into position 
iu the trenches, and participated in the siege. It Jield the extreme right of the hue, at which 
point the contending armies were nearest each othei-. The proximity of the enemy's pickets 
and the incessant tiring occasioned large losses, daily, in killed and wounded. 

On August 26th it was reheved by the Tenth Corps, and ordered witliin the defenses of 
Bermuda Hundred. In the latter part of September it was ordered to tlie north bank of the 
James, where, on the 29th, the First Division (rttannard's) participated in the brilliant and 
successful assault on Fort Harrison, at Chaffiu's Farm. At this time, General Stannard com- 
manded the First Division, General Brooks having resigned in July; General Paine had 
succeeded Hinks in command of the colored (Third) division ; and while at Chafifin's Farm, 
General Weitzel, who had been acting as chief of staff to General Butler, succeeded Ord in 
connnand of the corps. The Eighteenth, under Weitzel, was also engaged at the battle of 
Fair Oaks, October 27, 1864-, which was fought on tlie old battle field of lS(i2. 

On December 3, 1864, the corps was ordered discontinued. The white troops of the 
Tenth and Eighteenth Corps were organized into one corps, designated as the Twenty- 
fourth ; the colored troops belonging to the Tenth and Eighteenth were organized as another, 
which was designated the Twenty-fifth. Tlie regiments of the Eighteenth were formed into 
a division of three brigades, which became Devens' (?.d) Division of the Twenty-fourth Corps. 

As the Eighteenth Corps was to remain in Yii'ginia with the Army, it i.^ difficult to undei-- 
stand what good reason the War Department could have had for thus wiping out the honored 
name under which the corps had fought so long and well.

Organized under General Order No. 5, dated at Washington, Jan. 5, 186:3 : — " By direction 
of the President, the troops in the Department of the Gulf will constitute tlie Nineteenth 
Army Corps, to date from December 1-1, 1862, and Major-General N. P. Banks is assigned to 
the command." 

At this time the troops of the Nineteenth Corps were, for the most ])art, just arriving 
from the North on ocean transports, and some of the regiments which had been assigned to 
the corps had not landed at this date. There had been some Union troops in Louisiana 
since the occupation of New Orleans, one brigade of which, under command of General 
Thomas Williams, fought at Baton Rouge, August 5, 1862, making a gallant and successful 
defence against the attack of Brecken ridge's Division. General Williams was killed in this 
battle. Another brigade, under General Weitzel, was engaged in a hot fight, October 27, 
1862, at Georgia Landing (Labadies ville) in the LaFourche disti'ict. 

Soon after the date of the order creating the Nineteenth Corps, an organization was 
effected. The returns for April, 186?>, show four divisions, commanded respectively by Generals 
Augur, Sherman (Thos. W.), Emory and Grover. In addition, the corps command iiicluded 
seven unassigned regiments. stationed at Brashear City, Key West, Tortugas and West Florida; 
in all, 6.5 regiments of infantry, 19 batteries of light artillery, one regiment of heavy artil- 
lery, and 5 regiments of cavalry. It numbered, all told — present and absent — 55,229 ; 
present, 44.S;!ir; present for duty, .S5,67i>. Foi-fy of these regiments had been organized iu

the fall of lSo2, under the second call for troops, and twenty-two of tlieni -were enlisted for 
nine months oul\-, the terms of the latter expiring in July, l!S(Jo. There were also six newly 
organized regiments of colored troops from Louisiana. The New England States contributed 
39 regiments, 21 of which were nine-months men ; there were 2-2 regiments from New York, 
and 1 from Pennsylvania, the latter (47th Penn.) being the only Keystone regiment in the 
Department of the Gulf. 

Active operations were soon conmienced, and on April 12, 1863, the corps encountered the 
enemy at Fort Bisland, La., with a loss of -10 killed, and ISi wounded ; and on the lith, at 
Irish Bend, La., with a loss of 41) killed, 274 wounded, and 30 missing; total casualties in 
both actions, 577. The investment of Port Hudson was accomplished in the following 
month, and on May 27th a gallant but unsuccessful attempt was made to carry the enemy's 
works by storm, the corps losing in this action 293 killed, 1,545 wounded, and 157 missing ; 
total, 1.9!t5. Another general assault was made on June 14th, but without success ; loss, 
203 killed, 1,401 wounded, and 201 missing ; total, 1,805. In the meantime, the constant fir- 
ing from the trenches resulted in additional daily losses in killed and wounded. The Confed- 
erate gan-ison, learning of the fall of Yicksburg, surrendered on July 0th. The losses in the 
corps during the siege — including the assaults of May 27th and June 14th — amounted to 
707 killed, 3,330 wounded, and 310 missing ; total, 4,302. The heaviest loss fell on Augur's 
(,1st) Division. Fearing's Brigade, of Paine's (3d) Division, also sustained a severe loss, and 
one of the Louisiana (colored) regiments suffered severely in the assaidts. 

Soon after the surrender of Port Hudson and termination of that campaign, the 22 regi- 
ments which had been recruited for nine months left for their homes, their term of service 
having ex])ired. The loss of these troops necessitated a reduction of the organization to 
three divisions. The ensuing nine months — July, 1863, to Mai-ch, 1864 — were spent in post 
or garrison duty, with some reconuoissances and minor expeditions into the enemy's country. 
On the 15th of March, 1864, the troops started on Banks' Red River Expedition, his Army 
consisting of parts of the Thirteenth, Sixteenth, Seventeenth and Nineteenth Corps. Major- 
General William B. Franklin commanded the Nineteenth Corps on this expedition, and took 
with him the First (Emory's) and Second (Grover's) Divisions; the Third Division was left in 
the defenses of New Orleans. Upon the arrival of Bank's Army at Alexandria the Second- 
Division was left there, while the First moved on and fought at Sabine Cross Roads. In 
addition to the battles of Sabine Cross Roads and Pleasant Hill, the corps was engaged in 
several minor actions while on this expedition. 

In July, 1864, the First and Second Divisions proceeded to New Orleans, and embarked 
for Virginia, leaving the rest of the corps in Louisiana. On arriving at Washington the two 
divisions were ordered into Maryland to confront Early's invasion, after which they served in 
the Shenandoah Valley, in Sheridan's Army. The Nineteenth Corps, or this part of it, was 
now under the command of General William H. Emory ; the First Division, containing 17 
regiments, was commanded by General William Dwight ; the Second Division, containing 
4 brigades, 21 regiments, was commanded by General Cuvier Grover. The returns from these 
two divisions for August, 1864, show an aggregate of 21,640, present and absent; 14,645 
])resent, with 13,176 present for duty. Of the latter, the corps lost over 5,000 men in the 
Shenandoah campaign. It lost at the Opequon, September 19th, 314 killed, 1,554 wounded, 
and 206 missing ; at Fisher's Hill, September 22d, 15 killed, 86 wounded, and 13 missing ; at 
Cedar Creek, October 19th, 257 killed, 1.336 wounded, and 700 mis.sing ; in skirmishes and 
on the picket lines, 57 killed, 446 wounded, arul 13 missing ; in all, 5,087 casualties. At the 
Opequon, Grover's Division lost 1,527 men out of 6,707 taken into action, or present for duty 
before the battle. 

The fighting in the Valley having ended, Grovei-'s (2d) Division was ordered, in Jniinary, 



The Twentieth Corps. 103 

1865, to proceed to Savannah, where it was followed by the Fii'st Division, which left the 
Valley in April. The latter division made a short stay at Washington before saihng for 
Savannah, dnring which it participated in the Grand Eeview of May 24, 1865. The Second 
Division having arrived at Savannah, General Grover was assigned to the command of the 
district, and General H. W. Birge to the command of the division. In March, 1865, Birge's 
Division, containing three brigades, eighteen regiments, was ordered to North Carolina, 
where it was attached temporarily to the Tenth Corps and was designated as the First Division 
of that corps. The Fourth Brigade of Birge's Division was left at Savannah, the whole 
division returning there in May. The Nineteenth corjis remained at Savannah and vicinity 
until August, 1865 ; some of the regiments remained until 1866. The corps organization, 
however, was officially discontinued March 26, 1865. 

The portion of the corps left behind at New Orleans remained in the Department of the 
Gulf, and, in the spring of 1865, participated with the Thirteenth and Sixteenth corps in 
General Cauby's operations against Fort Blakely, Spanish Fort, and Mobile. 

TWENTIETH CORPS. 

(McCook's.) 

Stone's River ; Liberty Gap ; Chickamauga. 

This corps was identical with that part of the Army of the Cumberland, or Fourteentli 
Corps, which had been designated as the Right Wing until January 9, 1863, when, under 
General Order No. 9, the War Department directed tliat the Riglit Wing be set apart and 
designated as the Twentieth Corps. Major-General A. McD. McCook, its former com- 
mander, and Generals Davis, Johnson, and Sheridan, its former generals of division, were 
retained in command. 

The troops composing "McCook's Corps," as it was generally called in the army, were 
veterans who had withstood the fire of hard-fought fields. Many of the regiments had 
fought at Shiloh, and at Chaplin Hills, and all of them were engaged at Stone's River. 
McCook had distinguished himself at Shiloh, where his division contributed largely to Buell's 
success in the second day's battle ; also at Chaplin Hills, in which battle his command was 
almost the only force engaged. The Twentieth Corps, at the time it was so designated, con- 
tained the same troops which fought at Stone's River, with the same organization of di\is- 
ions and brigades. There were three divisions, each containing three brigades ; in all, 37 regi- 
ments of infantry, and 9 batteries of light artilleiy, one battery being attached to each 
brigade. It numbered, just before the battle of Stone's River, 13,779 i^resent for duty. 

After Rosecrans' victory at Stone's River, the Twentieth Corps advanced with the Army 
of the Cumberland and occupied Murfreesboro, where it i-emained until June, 1863. The 
advance on Chattanooga then commenced, during which the corps encountered the enemy at 
Liberty Gap, Tenn., on the 25th of June. Its casualties in that action amounted to 42 killed, 
231 wounded, and 1 missing ; total, 274. 

It accompanied Rosecrans across the Cumberland Mountains in his pursuit of Bragg, and 
on Sept. 19th fought at Chickamauga. In this battle McCook's Corps took eight brigades, 
12,480 men, into action; it lost 423 killed, 2,698 wounded, and 1,215 missing; total, 4,336. 
One brigade — Post's (1st) Brigade, Davis' (1st) Division — was not engaged, being absent 
guarding a supply train. 

On September 28th, 1863, the Twentieth and Twenty-first Corps were consohdated, form- 
ing the Fourth Corps, Army of the Cumberland. By this arrangement General McCook 
was left without a command.

TWENTIETH COKPS. 

(Hooker's). 

Rocky Face Ridge ; Resaca ; Cassville ; New Hope Church ; Dallas ; Pine Knob ; 
Golgotha; (Gulp's Farm ; Kenesaw Mountain ; Peach Tree Creek ; Siege of Atlanta ; 
March to the Sea ; Siege of Savannah ; Argvle Island ; Monteith Swamp ; Averasboro ; 
Bentonville ; Nashville.* 

This corps was formed April 4, 1864, by taking the Twelfth Corps, which was composed 
of the veteran divisions of Williams and Geary, and adding to it Butterfield's newly organ- 
ized division. At the same time, two divisions of the Eleventh Corps f were broken up and 
distributed to the divisions of Williams, Geary and Butterfield. The badge of the Twelfth 
Corps was retained, and there was no good reason why its number should not have been 
retained also ; the brigade and division generals of the Twelfth Coips retained their respect- 
ive commands, and little change was made other than the iiicrease by accessions of trans- 
ferred mateiial. 

Each division now contained three brigades, containing in all 52 regiments of infantry, 
and 6 batteries of light artillery, numbering 21,280 officers and men present for duty. It was 
all veteran material, the most of the regiments having served with the Army of the Potomac 
in many of the greatest battles of the war, and, later on, at Wauhatchie and Lookout 
Mountain. Major-General Joseph Hooker was placed in cominand. It was a grand corps, and 
worthy of the hero who was to lead it. 

In addition to the three divisions of Williams, Geary and Butterfield, there was a Fourth 
Division, under command of Major-General Lovell H. Rousseau. This division was 
detached on post or garrison duty and never joined the corps ; in fact, the men of the 
Twentieth were unaware of the existence of a Fourth Division. A part of Rousseau's 
Division was engaged in the Tennessee campaign against Hood, in 18(14, and was present at 
the battle of NashviUe. 

The Twentieth Corps started. May 4, ISfU, on the Atlanta campaign, and during the next 
{our months participated in all the important battles, its hardest lighting occurring at Resaca, 
May 15th, at New Hope Church, May 25th, and at Peach Tree Creek, July 20th. It was 
also actively engaged hi the investment and siege of Atlanta, sustaining losses daily in killed 
and wounded while occupying the trenches. During the four months fighting from Chatta- 
nooga to Atlanta, it lost over 7,000 men killed, wounded and missing. Before reaching 
Atlanta, Hooker had a disagreement with Sherman, and asked to be relieved. He was suc- 
ceeded by Major-General Henry W. Sk)cum, the former commander of the Twelfth Corps, 
and one of the ablest generals in the Union armies. Geneial Butterfield, conmianding the 
Third Division, was succeeded during the campaign by General William C. Ward. Upon the 
evacuation of Atlanta, some troops of the Twentieth Corps — Coburn's Brigade of Waid's 
Division — were the first to enter and occupy the city, the entire corps remaining there to hold 
their important prize, while Sherman and the rest of the Army marched in pmsuit of Hood. 

On November 15, 18(34, Sherman and his men started on their grand march through 
Georgia to the Sea, the Army of the Cumberland — Fourteenth and Twentieth Corps- — 
foi-ming the Right Wing, under command of General Slocum. General A. S. Williams, of 
the First Division, succeeded to the command of the corps, with Jackson, Geary, andWard as 
division generals. When it started on this march, the corps numbered 13,741, present for 
duty, and contained 47 regiments of infantry, 1 of engineers, 1 of pontoniers, and 4 batteries 

* Rousseau's Fourth Division (20th A. C.) participated in the battle of Nashville.

The Twenty-Fikst Corps. 105 

of light artillery. It was actively engaged at the siege of Savannah, and upon Hardee's 
evacuation, December 20th, Geary's Division was the first to enter the city. 

Leaving Savannali in February, 1865, the Army marched northward through the Caro- 
linas. and at the battle of Averasboro (N. C), the Twentieth Corps was the only infantiy 
engaged ; loss, 77 killed, and 475 wounded. Three days later, Jackson's and Ward's Divis- 
ions were hotly engaged in General Slocum's battle at Bentonville. At the close of the cam- 
paign, in April, 1865, Major-General Joseph A. Mower was assigned to the command of the 
corps, whereupon General WiUiams resumed his old command, that of the First, or 
Red Star Division. 

Williams, whose commission as brigadier dated May 17, 1S61, had commanded this division 
from the beginning of the war. It was remarkable as being the only division which seived 
during the war without a change of conunander. Williams commanded it at Winchester, May, 
1802, and rode at its head in the Grand Review of May, 1865 ; he was absent only when in 
temporary command of the corps. He commanded the Twelfth Corps at Antietam, Mansfield 
having been kiUed wliile going into action ; also, at Gettysburg, Slocum being in command 
then of the Right Wing. He also commanded the Twentieth Corps while on the Mai'ch to the 
Sea and through the Carolinas ; at the battles of Averasboro and Bentonville. He was an 
able officer, enjoying to the fullest extent the respect and confidence of every officer and man 
in his division. Denied the commission of a major-general which he had earned so well, and 
superseded in command of his corps, the gallant old patriot made no sign of complaint, and 
continued to serve his country faithfully and well. The persistent refusal to recognize 
Williams' services together with the influence and motives which prompted such action were 
discreditable, to say the least. 

The campaign in the Carolinas having ended in Johnston's surrender, the Twentieth 
Corps marched on to Washington, where it participated in the Grand Review, and was then 
disbanded. 

TWENTY-FIRST CORPS. 

Stone's River ; Chickamauga. 

On the 7th of November, 1862, General Rosecrans divided the Army of the Cumberland 
— then known as the Fourteenth Army Corps — into the Right Wing, Centre, and Left Wing. 
The organization of the left wing, as then ari-anged, remained vmchanged until January 9, 
1863, when, by authority of the War Department, General Order No. 9, its designation was 
changed to that of the Twenty-first Corps. No other change was made, the different brigades 
and divisions remaining as before. 

The left wing, or Twenty-first Corps, was organized with Major-General Thomas L. 
Crittenden in command, and contained the three divisions of W. S. Smith, Van Cleve, and 
Hascall. At the battle of Stone's River the divisions were commanded by Generals Thos. J. 
Wood, Palmer, and Van Cleve. The three divisions contained three brigades each ; in all, 
38 regiments of infantry, and 8 batteries of hght artillery. The losses of the left wing at 
Stone's River amounted to 650 killed, 3,006 wounded, and 873 missing ; total, 4,529, out of 
12,1)09 officers and men engaged. 

After this battle the enemy fell back, whereupon Rosecrans' Army occupied Murfreesboro, 
remaining encamped there, or in its vicinity, until June, 1863, when another forward move- 
ment took place which ended in the battle of Chickamauga and in the permanent occupation 
of Chattanooga. The Twenty-first Corps fought at Chickamauga under the same corps and 
division generals as at Stone's River. The organization was the same, 3 divisions of 3 
brigades each ; the regiments, however (38 in number), had diminished in size. The corps

uuinbered, at C!liickaniauga, 1 4,1(40 present for duty. Wagner's (^^d) Brigade, of Wood's (1st) 
Division, was not engaged, having been left on duty at Chattanooga. Two regiments were 
also detailed elsewliere, leaving 11,480 men in action. Of this number, the corps lost 322 
killed, 2,382 wounded, and G!»!t missing; total, 3,403. 

There seems to be a general impression that, after the disaster at Chickamauga, the day 
was saved solely by Thomas' Corps. In justice to the gallant men of Crittenden's command, 
it should be stated that Palmer's Division of the Twenty-tirst Corps fought with Thomas during 
the whole battle ; and that General Wood with two brigades of his own division, and one 
from Van Cleve's which was not cut off, went to the aid of Thomas on the second day. 

Soon after this battle the Twentieth and the Twenty-first Corps were consoUdated, 
forming the Fourth Corps. General Crittenden was left without a command, but was subse- 
quently assigned to a division in the Ninth Corps, Army of the Potomac, while on the 
Wilderness campaign of the following spring. 



TWENTY-SECOND CORPS. 

Fort Stevens. 

This organization comprised the troops occupying the defenses of Washington. It was 
organized February 2, lSt)3, with Major-General S. P. Heintzelman in connnand. He was 
succeeded by Major-General C. C. Augui-, who was in connnand at the time of Early's in- 
vasion in July, 18G4. 

At that time the Confederate troops advanced within the limits of the city of Washing- 
ton, and a severe battle was fought at Fort Stevens, in the outskirts of the city. In this 
battle the principal part of the fighting devolved upon the Sixth Corps ; but prior to its 
arrival, Hardin's Division of the Twenty second Corps held the skirmish line and the outer 
line of works, confronting Early's advance, Hardin's troops were under fire and became 
engaged at various points on the line, their losses amounting to 73, killed and wounded. 

The roster of the corps was continually changing, as the Department was being con- 
tinually drawn upon for reinforcements for the field, thereby preventing anything like a 
continuous organization. At one time, the cor]js was commanded by Major-General Jno. G. 
Parke, while among its various division commanders were Generals Hardin, De Russy and 
Hascall. 

TWENTY-THIRD CORPS. 

Lenoir ; Blue Springs ; Campbell's Station ; Knoxville ; Mossy Creek ; Dandridge ; 
Walker's Ford ; Strawberry Plains ; Rocky Face Ridge ; Resaca ; Cassville ; Dallas ; 
Pine Mountain ; Lost Mountain ; Gulp's Farm ; Kenesaw ; Chattahoochie ; Decatur ; 
Siege of Atlanta ; Utoy Creek ; Lovejoy's Station ; Columbia : Spring Hill ; Franklin ; 
Nashville ; Fort Anderson, N. C. ; Town Creek : Wilmington ; Kinston : Goldsboro. 

Genei-al Burnside was assigned to the command of the Department of the Ohio in the 
spring of 1863, his district including Kentucky and East Tennessee. The Ninth Corps left 
Virginia at this time and was assigned to his command ; but, havmg planned an active cam- 
paign in East Tennessee, and needing additional troops, he organized the Twenty-third Corps 
from the regiments then stationed in Kentucky. 

This new corps was formed April 27, 1S63, with Major-General George L. Hartsufif in 
command. Generals JuUus White and Milo S. Hascall were assigned to division connnands. 



The Twexty-third Corps. 107 

The proposed campaign in East Tennessee was postponed, as the Ninth Corps was ordered to 
Vickshurg, to reinforce Grant's army ; but in August, the Ninth Corps returned to Ken- 
tucky, and the advance of the Twenty-third commenced. The Second Division (White's) 
made its rendezvous at New Market, from whence it marched on the 19th, arriving at Loudon, 
Tenn., on the 4th of September. General Longstreet's Corps had been detached from Lee's 
Army, and, in October, 1863, marched into East Tennessee to drive out Burnside's Army of 
the Ohio, as the united forces of the Ninth and Twenty-third Corps were then designated. 
The fighting was continuous, minor engagements occurring ahnost daily, and on November 
16th a spirited battle occurred at Campbell's Station, in which Wliite's Division was actively 
engaged. Burnside moved next to Knoxville, wliich place was invested and finally assaulted 
by Longstreet, but without success. At Campbell's Station, and at Knoxville, the corps was 
commanded by General Mahlon D. Manson. 

In August, 1863, Mahan's Brigade of Indiana troops was assigned to the Third Division. 
These regiments were recruited for six nuinths' service only, and returned to Indiana in Feb- 
ruary, 1861. They served in East Tennessee, and were present at Blue Springs and Walker's 
Ford. 

On the 4th of April, 1S64, Major-General John M. Schofield was assigned to thecoi-ps, and 
he commanded it during the Atlanta campaign, which w^as the most eventful period of its exist- 
ence. In the spring of 18f:4,Hovey's Division of Indiana troops, newly recruited, joined the corps 
at Chai'leston, Tenn., and was designated as the First Division. The Second Division was 
commanded by General Henry M. Judah, and the Third Division by General Jacob D. Cox, 
with which organization it started on the Atlanta campaign. But on June 6, 1864, the First 
Division was broken up and divided between the other two divisions. While on the Atlanta 
campaign, General Judah was succeeded by General Hascall in tlie command of the Second 
Division. The greatest loss of the corps during that camjjaign was sustained May 14, 1864, 
at the battle of Resaca. It also encountered some hard fighting near Kenesaw and at Utoy 
Creek. 

After the fall of Atlanta, and while Sherman's Ai'my was wending its way to the Sea, 
the Twenty -third Corps joined Thomas' Army in the Tennessee campaign against Hood. The 
corps was still under the command of General Schofield, while the two divisions. Second and 
Third, were connnanded, respectively, by Generals Euger and Cox. These two divisions 
contained 3i) regiments of infantry and 4 batteries of light artillery. Their returns for 
October 31, lS(i4, — just before stai'ting on the Tennessee campaign — show 10,624 officers and 
men present for duty. The corps was actively engaged at the battle of Franklin, but at 
Nashville it was largely Iield in reserve. In the latter action, Ruger's (2d) Division was com- 
manded by Major-General Darius N. Couch. 

In January, 1865. the corps moved from NashviUe, via Washington, to North CaroUna, 
Cox's Division landing at Fort Fisher, February t), 1865. Moving up the river, the corps fought 
at Fort Anderson, and at Wilmington, February 2tst, capturing the latter place. In the 
meantime, another division was formed, and designated as the Fii-st Division, with General 
Ruger in command. This division was actively engaged in the victory at Kinston, N. C. 
(Wise's Forks), which resulted in the occupation of Goldsboro. General Cox succeeded 
Schofield, the latter having been promoted to the command of the Army of the Ohio, which, 
since the arrival of the Twenty-third Corps in North Carolina, comprised two corps — the 
Tenth (Terry's) and Twenty-third. On the loth of April, 1865, the Twenty-third Corps 
numbered 14,293 present for duty, and was composed of three divisions — Ruger's, Couch's, 
and Carter's. It remained in North Carolina while Sherman's Army, with which it had 
made a junction at Goldsboro, marched northward to Washington. The corps was discon- 
tinued on August 1, 1865, many of the regiments having been mustered out before that.

TWENTY-FOURTH CORPS. 



Bermuda Hundred ; Fort Fisher ; Petersburg ; Hatcher's Run, March ?>itth ; Fort 
GrREGG ; Rice's Station ; Fall of Richmond ; Clover Hill ; Appomattox. 

The white troops of the Tenth and Eighteenth Corps were assembled in one command, 
and organized, December 3, 18G-t, as the Twenty-tourth Corps, with Major-Cieneial Edward 
0. Ord in command. The trooi)S of the Tentli Corps were assigned to the First and Second 
Divisions, while the regiments of the Eighteenth Corps were placed in the Third Division. 
The three divisions were connnanded by Generals Foster, Ames and Devens. and were 
stationed on the north bank of the James, in front of Richmond. As before the consolida- 
tion, these troops remained in the Army of the James. 

Ames' (2d) Division did not remain long in the corps In December, ISG-t, it left its 
quarters and embarked for North Carolina, forming part of Butler's expedition to Fort 
Fisher. Butler's troops returned without having accomplished anything ; but, in January, 
Ames' three brigades were ordered to return to Fort Fisher, this second expedition being 
entrusted to the command of (leneral Alfred H. Terry, the former commander of the Tenth 
Corps. Abbott's Brigade, of the First Division, also accomi)anied Terry's Expedition. These 
troops — Ames' Division and Abbott's Brigade — were the ones which won the famous victory 
at Fort Fisher, January 15, 186.5. They never rejoined the Twenty-fourth Corps, but 
remained in North Carolina, where they formed a nucleus for a revival of the organization of 
the Tenth Corps. 

In December, 1SG4, while Ames' Division was absent on the first expedition to Fort 
Fisher, the Twenty-fourth Corps was reinforced by the First Division, Eighth Corps. This 
was a veteran body of troops — formerly Thoburn's Division — which had seen long and 
active service in West Virginia and in the Shenandoah Valley. It was transferred to the 
Twenty-fourth Coi'ps, the fighting in the Valley having ended, and arrived December 25th on 
the banks of the James, where it took possession of the abandoned quarters of the Fort 
Fisher division. These troops from West Virginia ('.» regiments) wei'e designated an Inde- 
pendent Division, and General John W. Turnei*, formerly a division-general in the Tenth 
Corps, was assigned to its command. The Twenty-fourth Corps now consisted of three 
divisions, Foster's, Devens' and Turner's, containing 42 infantry regiments, and numbering 
18,148 jiresent for duty, equipped. 

On January 1, 1SG5, General Butler was reheved from the command of the Army of the 
James — Twenty-fourth and Twenty-fifth Corps — and General Ord was appointed in his 
place. Major-General John Gibbon, an able and distinguished division-genei-al of the Second 
Corps, became the commander of the Twenty-fourth. But little fighting had occurred on the 
north bank of the James since the organization of the corps, exce])t a minor affair at Spring 
Hill, December 10, 1864, in which Longstreet made a sortie against the extreme right of the 
Union line. 

On the 27th of March, 1805, Foster's and Turner's Divisions of the Twenty-fourth Corps, 
with one division of the Twenty-fifth, all under command of General Ord, Army of the James 
(General Gibbon commanding his corps), crossed to the south banks of the James and Appo- 
mattox Rivers, and joined the main army at Hatcher's Run, where they participated in the 
preliminary movements of the final, grand campaign. In the general and victorious assault 
on Petersburg, April 2, 1 SG5, the Twenty-fourth Corps was assigned to the duty of assaulting 
Forts Gregg and Whitworth, which they carried by a determined and brilliant attack : but 
not without a serious loss, and a final struggle in which bayonets were used. General Gibliou 
describes this assault as one of the most desijerate in the war. 



The Twenty-Fifth Corps. Id!) 

The fall of Petersburg immediately followed as the result of the victorious assaults of the 
Twenty-fourth, Sixth, and jS'inth Corps, after Avhich the Twenty-fourtli joined in the pursuit 
of Lee's Army. During this pursuit it had u sharp fight, April Cth, at Rice's Station, or High 
Bridge. On April 9th, the day of Lee's surrender, tlie coi'ps was sharply engaged in the 
forenoon, the Twenty-fourth Corps having the. honor of making the last infantry fight of that 
campaign, and of the war. Gibbon arrived at Apjjomattox Court House about ten o'clock, 
and intercepted Lee's troojjs who were driving the cavalry back in their attempt to escape. 
General Ord, connuauding at that time the Twenty-fourth, Fifth, and Twenty-fifth (colored) 
Corps, states that the ai rival of his command was opportune; that "in spite of General 
Sheridan's attempts, the cavalry was falling back in confusion before Lee's infantry ; " and 
that his troops "soon deployed and went in, Gibbon at double-quick, with Foster's and 
Turner's Divisions in beautiful style." After a short, sharp action a white flagapi)eared at an 
adjoining part of Ord's line, whereupon tlie Twenty-fourth Corj^s was ordered to cease firing. 
The last iufantry-volley of the war had been fired. This fight, on the day of Lee's surrender, 
was known by the troops as (Jlover HiU. During this campaign, March 2!)th to April 9th, 

— from Hatcher's Run to Appomattox — the Twenty-fourth Corps lost 149 killed, and 5<35 
wounded ; total, Tl-t. 

When General Ord moved the Army of the James to Petersburg, March 27, 18G5, he left 
Devens' (3d) Division of the Twenty-fourth, and one division of the Twenty-fifth, in front of 
Richmond, on the north bank of the James. Upon the fall of Petersburg these troops, under 
General Weitzel, the commander of the Twenty-fifth Corps, marched on Richmond, and 
encountering little or no oi)position entered that city on the 3d of A])ril. Foster's and Turner's 
Divisions returned to Richmond after the victory at Appomattox, and the corps remained in 
Virginia until August 1, ls65, when the existence of the organization ceased officially, many 
of the regiments having already returned to their homes. Although this corps does not dis- 
play any long list of battles, it should be remembered that its regiments were veterans of 
many hard-fought fields before they were assigned to it. They had withstood the shock of 
many battles, and their banners were inscribed with the names of historic fields. 

TWENTY-FIFTH CORPS.

OF Richmond ; Rice's Station ; Clover Hill ; Appomattox. 

This organization was composed of the colored troops previously belonging to the Tenth 
and Eighteenth Corps, and which were consolidated for the pur]wse of forming an Army 
Corps composed entirely of black regiments. It was organized December 3, 18«-t, and Major- 
General Godfrey Weitzel was placed in command. It was composed of the divisions of Gen- 
erals Kautz, Birney (Wm.), and Paine, containing in all 32 regiments of infantry and 1 of 
cavalry. Its returns for February, 18t;5, show a strength of 13,030 — infantry, cavalry, and 
artillery, the latter carrying 5(5 guns. 

In January, 1865, Paine's Division sailed with Terry's Expedition to Fort Fisher, where 
it rendered effective service during that memorable action, although it did not form a part of 
the column of assault. Paine's Division did not rejoin the corps, but remained in North Car- 
ohna, and when the Tenth Corps was i-eorganized became the Third Division of that corps. 

On the 27th of March, 1865, Birney's (2d) Division accompanied the Army of the James 

— General Ord's command — on its march from the James River to Hatcher's Run, Kautz' 
(1st) Division remaining in the defenses of Bermuda Hundred. Birney's Division was present 
in the fighting at the fall of Petersburg, after which it join-od in the pursuit of Lee's Army, 
and participated in the closing battle at Clover Hill, April 9th, the day of Lee's surrender. 



no Regimental Losses in the Civil War. 

In the meantime, Kautz" Division accompanied General Weitzel to Richmond, the colored 
troops of the Twenty-fifth Corps being the first to enter that city. In May, 1865, the corps 
accompanied General Weitzel to Texas, where it joined the Army of Occnpation, and 
remained until January 8, 1866, when the corps was discontinued, it being the last corps 
nuistered out. Many of the regiments had been previously mustered out in the summer and 
faU of 1805. 

In addition to the list of battles belonging properly to the Twenty-fifth Corps, the col- 
ored regiments of that conmiand had fought with honor at the Petersburg Assault, the Mine 
Explosion at Deep Bottom, Chaffin's Farm, Fort Gilmer, Darbytown Road, and Fair Oaks.

This list covers only the more im])i>rtant of th(^ numerous battles in which the Cavalry of 
the Army of the Potomac were engaged. It would be almost impossible to enumei-ate all the 
minor actions and affairs in Avhich it participated, as not a day passed but, somewhere, at 
least, a battahon or regiment was under fire. From Beverly Ford t(j Appomattox, a "dead 
cavalryman" could have been seen any day of the year in answer to Hooker's famous query. 

The first organization of the cavalry into one command was made iu April, 1863, and 
Major-General George Stoneman was placed at its head. It numbered ll,Hti^ men present 
for duty, and was divided into three commands under Generals Pleasanton, Buford and 
AvereU. Stoneman's corps made a raid on the enemy's rear during the Chancellors ville cam- 
paign, but, owing to various causes, the movement did not produce the favorable results 
expected. Hooker, being dissatisfied, relieved Stoneman and put Major-Geueral Alfred Pleas- 
anton in his place. 

On Juno 9, 1863, tlie corjjs was engaged at Beverly's Ford. Ya., in a battle Avhich was 
largely a cavalry aftair on both sides. From this l)attle dates the efficiency of the cavalry arm 
of the service in the war. Particular regiments had often demonstrated their efficiency on 
previous occasions, but until this battle the cavalry had not shown its ability to act as an 
independent body. Pleasanton took about 9,fl(i0 sabres to Beverly Ford, one-third of which, 
however, were not engaged , Duffie's Division having been detached to hold a position else- 
where. The three divisions were commanded by Generals Buford, Duffie and Gregg. A 



Cavalry Corps. Ill 

proper compliment of horse artillery was attached, and two brigades of infantry were also 
present in support! Casualties at Beverly's Ford, 4S4 killed and wounded, not including cap- 
tured or missing. 

More hard fighting occurred at Aldie and Middleburg( June 17th and 19th), one of the passes 
of the mountains which screened Lee's advance into Pennsylvania, the cavahy losing in these 
two actions GO killed, 177 wounded, and 161 missing ; total, 40i. At Grettysburg. the Cav- 
alry Corps was still under Pleasantou's command, with Buford, Gregg and Kiljiatrick as 
division-genei-als, and numbered 11,000 sabres and 27 guns. Two brigades of horse artillery 
— Robertson's and Tidball's, 9 batteries — were attached to the corps previous to this cam- 
paign. Cavahy fought with cavalry at Gettysburg, the fighting occurring mostly on the 
extreme light of the Union line. Kilpatrick had a fight, also, on the left, in which General 
Farnsworth was killed. The casualties in the Cavalry Corps at Gettysburg amounted to 90 
killed, 3.52 wounded, and 199 captured or missing;* total, 641, the heaviest loss falling on 
Custer's Michigan Brigade. Buford's Division had the honor of opening this historic battle, 
his long skirmish-line of dismounted troopers holding the enemy at bay until the First Coi-ps 
arrived on the field. The Cavahy made some brilliant charges during the cour.se of this bat- 
tle, in which sabre cuts were freely exchanged. 

Upon the reorganization of the Army of the Potomac, in April, 1861, Major-General 
Philip H. Sheridan was placed in command of the Cavalry Coi-ps. The three divisions were 
conuiianded by Generals Torbert, Gregg (D. M.), and Wilson, and contained 32 regiments of 
cavalry, numbering 1 2,424, ' ' present for duty, equipped. " This does not include the cavalry— 
1812 in number — attached to the Ninth Corps ; nor the horse artillery which acted in con- 
junction with the mounted troops. The campaign of 1864 was marked by the hardest fighting 
and greatest loss of life which had hitherto fallen to the lot of this arm of service. Most of 
the time it was cavahy fighting cavahy, in large numbers, by brigades and divisions. As the 
men fought dismounted and with carbines, the battles closely resembled infantry engagements, 
and being well supplied with horse artillery there was but little difference in the character of 
the fighting. Among the more imi)ortant of these dismounted cavalry battles in Grant's 
campaign, might be mentioned Todd's Tavern, May 8 ; Hawes' Shop, May 28 ; Trevilian 
Station, June 11; St. Mary's Church, June 24 ; Dinwiddle Court Hou.se, March 31 ; Five 
Forks, April 1 ; and Appomattox, April 9, 1S(;.5, 

In August, 1S64, Slieridan was promoted to the command of the Army of the Shenandoah, 
and took with him the First and Tiiird Cavalry Divisions — Merritt's and Wilson's. General 
Torbert was assigned to the ccjmmand of the cavalry forces in the Shenandoah, and his two 
divisions were reenforced by Duffie's and Averell's Cavalry Divisions of the Army of West 
Virginia. The cavalry fighting in the Shenandoah was a sei'ies of brilliant affairs, intersiiersed 
with skirmishes, which cost the corps a serious loss of life. 

Upon Sheridan's return to Petersburg he brought back with liim Devin's and Custer's 
Divisions, which, added to Crooks' (formerly Gregg's) Division, restored the organization to its 
original formation. General Merritt being in command of the three divisions. The corps 
started on the final campaign of 1865 with 37 regiments of cavalry, numbering 13,820 present 
for duty, or about 11,000 cai'bines available for action. During the last ten days of the cam- 
paign — fi'om Five Forks to Appomattox — the corps took a prominent and meritorious part 
in the operations which culminated in the surrender of Lee's Army. The cavalry were a 
conspicuous and attractive feature of the Grand Review at Washington, after the close of the 
war. Soon after that event, most of the regiments were mustered out of service. 

Among the heavy losses of the cavahy the following casualties are worthy of note ; they 
indicate clearly the hard fighting done by this arm of the service.

It will be observed that over one-fourth of these losses are made up of captured, or 
missing, men. This was unavoidable, as the cavalry ojierated almost entirely within the 
enemy's hues, and without the support of other troops. Repeatedly, they made daring raids, 
which carried them a long distance from their own anny, and in which any small detachment 
was always liable to be cut off by the vigilant enemy which hovered around the flanks and rear 
of the raiding column. 

The cavalry of the Union Armies, including both Eastern and Western, lost 10,596 officers 
and men killed or mortally wounded in action, and about 26,490 wounded who survived.

Ill the We.stern Annies there was no corps organization conii)osed of cavalry until 
December, 1S64, although there were divisions of mounted ti'oops in each military depart- 
ment. Hence the list of cavali'y battles given liere enibiaces those which occurred in all the 
operations west of the Allcglianies. It includes only the more important engagements of the 
cavalry ; it would be impossible to give all of them. The constant activity of scouting 
parties; the aggressive vigilance of the mounted troops at the outposts; the daring raids 
through hostile territory ; and the continuous forays incidental to border warfare, resulted in 
countless fights which cannot be enumerated here. These minor affairs were characterized 
by courageous, desperate fighting, and though the casualty lists were small, the loss of life in 
tlie aggregate was a serious feature of the war. Many fell in contests which are unmen- 
tioned in history, fighting in nameless battles, and filling unmarked graves. 

In December, ISfi-t, while on Thomas's campaign in Tennessee against Hood, the mounted 
troops were formed into an Army Corps of seven divisions, and Major-General J. H. Wilson 
was assigned to its command. At the battle of Nashville, four of these divisions — McCook's. 
Hatch's, Johnson's and Knipe's — wei'e present. After the defeat and dismemberment of 
Hood's Army, Wilson entei'ed Alabama with his corps of troopers in March, 1865, and 
there fought the closing battles of the war. His four divisions were there couimanded by 
Generals McCook, Hatch, Long and Upton. Although the last infantry engagement of the 
war occurred April 9, 1805, Wilson's Corps fought at Columl)us, Ga., on the 16th of AiJiil, 
1865, in a spirited engagement with Forrest's command. The most of Wilson's men fought 
dismounted, and the affair — during wliicli a daring and successful assault was made 
on the enemy's works — was one of the brilliant achievements of tlie war. About this time, 
also. General Stoneman, with a body of cavahy imder Generals Gillem an<l Burbridge, made 
a raid through East Tennesee into Virginia. 

Dui-ing Sherman's Atlanta campaign, the cavahy attached to his army was divided into 
four columns, commanded by Generals Stoneman, Kilpatrick, Garrard and McCook (E. M. ). 
Kilpatrick's Division afterwards accomi)anied that part of Sherman's Army which marclied 
through Georgia to the Sea, and thence through the Carolinas. 

In 1863, the cavalry attached to the Army of the Cumberland operated as a separate 
command, instead of being parceled out to brigades as previously. At Stone's River it was 
massed under the command of General David S. Stanley, its casualties in that battle amount- 
ing to 38 kiUed, 1()3 wounded, and 215 missing or captured ; total, 356. It also lost 37 horses 
killed and 40 wounded. At Chickamauga, the cavalry forces were commanded by General 
Robert B. Mitchell, and comprised two divisions under Generals E. M. McCook and George 
Crook. The casualties in the Cavalry Corps at tliat battle aggregated :12 killed. 136 wounded. 
and 300 captured or missing ; total, 468. 

In the Department of tlie Gulf, the cavalry attached to Banks's Red River Expedition. 
April, 1864, was commanded by General Albert L. Lee. and comprised five brigades. Gen- 
eral Lee was succeeded by General Richard Arnold. During Grant's Mississippi campaigns, 
Generals W. S. Smith and Cyrus Bussey were entrusted with important cavalry command-^. 



CHAPTER IX. 



FAMOUS DIVISIONS AND BRIGADES. 



\\/'ITHIN tlie corps organizations there were certain divisions and brigades which also 
achieved distinction, sometimes greater than that of the corps to which they belonged. 
Prominent among these was the famous division of the Pennsylvania Reserves — the only 
division in the Union Armies which was composed entirely of troops from one State. 

PENNSYLVANIA RESERVES. 

The Reserves included thirteen regiments of infantry, divided into three brigades. The 
Tliirteenth Reserves was the celebrated regiment known as the Bucktails, or First Pennsylva- 
nia Rifles. In addition to the infantry, two other regiments were oi'ganized in connection 
with the division, — the First Pennsylvania Cavalry and the First Pennsylvania Light Ai'til- 
lery — but after a few months they were detached, and the division proper included only the 
three brigades of infantry. The Reserves were prominently engaged at DranesviUe, Mechan- 
icsville, Gaines's Mill, Charles City Cross Roads (Glendale), Manassas, South Mountain, Antie- 
tam, Fredericksburg, Gettysbuig, and in the Wilderness campaign. At Fredericksburg the 
division made a gallant figlit, the losses being unusually severe in jjroportion to the number 
engaged. Tlie division was conuuanded in turn by Generals McC^all, Reynolds, Meade, and 
Crawford. It was attached, originally, to the First (McDowell's) Corps, but while on the 
Peninsula it served in the Fifth Corps. At Manassas, Antietam, and Fredericksburg, it was 
again in the First Corps. After Fredericksburg it was ordered to Washington to rest and 
recruit its shattered legiments, but it rejoined tlie Army on the Gettysburg campaign, when 
it was assigned to the Fifth Corps, in which it remained until mustered out. 

'The casualties in this division do not amount to the heroic aggregate shown by some 
other divisions, but the percentage of loss was heavy ; the regiments became reduced in 
numbers, received but few recruits, and did not re-enhst. Governor Curtin requested the 
War Department to furlough tlie regiments, — a few at a time — promising that the State of 
Pennsylvania would return them to the field with fuU ranks ; but the Government refused. 
Many of the men, however, reenlisted, and when the division returned home at the expira- 
tion of its three years, tliese reenlisted veterans, togetiier with the recruits, were organized 
into two regiments, — the One Hundred and Ninetieth and One Hundred and Ninety-first 
Pennsylvania — which served until the war ended. The battle of Bethesda Church, June 1, 
1 864, was the last action in which the Reserves, as a division, were engaged. 

Two of the Reserve regiments served in West Virginia during the early part of 1864, dis- 
tinguishing themselves at the battle of Cloyd's Mountain. The eleven remaining regiments 
were formed into two brigades, constituting Crawford's (3d) Division, Fifth Corps. 

(114) 



Famous Divisions and Bkigades. 115 



SYKES'S DIVISION. 

Another division remarkable for superiority in discipline an<l eflRciency, was Sykes's 
Division of Regulars. The regular troops of the United States Army serving in the Army of 
the Potomac were formed into one division of two brigades, under command of Major-General 
George Sykes, who was succeeded in ls(33 by General Romeyn B. Ayres. This division in- 
cluded the Second, Third, Fourth, Sixth, Tenth, Eleventh, Twelfth. Fourteenth, and Seven- 
teenth United States Infantry. The regiments were small, seldom having over eight 
companies to a regiment, and often only three. At Gaines's Mill, and at Gettysburg, they 
sustained a terrible percentage of loss. The division became so reduced in numbers that it 
was withdrawn from the field in ISGi. The largest losses in the division occiu-red in the 
Fourteenth Infantry ; but that might have been due to larger numbers. The Regular Division 
was, undoubtedly, the best ofticered of any division in the Army, the officei-s being selected 
solely with reference to their ability. In addition to those from the National Military 
Academy, a large number were promoted from the ranks. 

Attached to the division of Regulars was an additional brigade, composed of volunteer 
regiments, which had demonstrated by their discipline and efficiency their fitness to be asso- 
ciated with the Regulars. Conspicuous among the volunteer regiments thus attached to the 
Regular Division was the Fifth New York, or Duryee Zouaves — General Warren's old 
regiment. 



HANCOCK'S DIVISION. 

But the hardest fighting and greatest loss of life occurred in the First Division of the 
Second Corps, — Hancock's old division — in which more men were killed and wounded than 
in any other division in the Union Army, east or west. Its losses aggregated 2,287 killed, 
11,724 wounded,* and 4,S33 missing ; total, 18,8-44. This division was the one which Rich- 
ardson — its first commander — led on the Peninsula, and at whose head he fell at Antietam : 
the one which, inider Hancf)ck, made the bloody assault on Marye's Heights ; which, undei- 
Caldwell, fought so well in the Gettysburg wheat-field ; which, under Bai'low, surged over 
the enemy's works at Spotsylvania; and which, under Miles, was in at the death in 186.5. 
Within its ranks weie the Irish Brigade, and crack regiments like the Fifth New Hampshire, 
the One Hundred and Fortieth Pennsylvania, and the Sixty-fourth New York. Over 14,000 
men were killed or wounded in this division during the war ; yet it never numbered 8,000 
muskets, and often could muster only half of that. After the charge on Marye's Heights 
it numbered only 2,800. 

Close to it, however, in point of loss stands Gibbon's (-Ml) Division f <"f the Second Coi]is. 
and Griffin's (1st) Division + of the Fifth Corps. 

The heaviest loss sustained by any division in anyone battle, occurred in Getty's (2di 
Division, Sixth Corps, at the Wilderness, where that divison lost 4V0 killed, 2,318 wounded, 
and 196 missing ; total, 2,994. 

Gibbon's Division, at Gettysburg, lost 344 killed, 1,197 wounded, and ]ol missing ; total, 
1,642, out of 3,773 engaged —a loss of 43.5 per cent.

VERMONT BRIGADE. 

The greatest loss of life in any one brigade during the war occurred in the Vermont 
Brigade of the Second (Getty's) Division, Sixth Corps. The regiments composing this organ- 
ization, and their losses were : —

Its hardest fighting occurred at the Wilderness, May, 5-0, 1^64, in which action it 
lost 195 killed, 1,017 wounded, and 57 missing; total, 1,20',). Within a week it lost at the 
two actions of the Wilderness and Spotsylvania, 206 killed, 1,299 wounded, and 80 missing ; 
a total of 1,645, out of the 2,S()0 effective men* with which it crossed theRapidan, and a loss 
of 58 per cent. This loss fell on the first five regiments, as the Eleventh did not join the 
brigade until May 15, 1864. Tiie brigade also distinguished itself by valuable services ren- 
dered in the minor actions of Banks"s Ford, Va., and Funkstown, Md. 

It acquired a distinctive reputation, not only by its gallantry, but by reason of its being 
composed entirely of troops from one state. State brigades were rare in the Union Armies, 
the iJoHcy of the Government being to assign regiments from different states to the same 
brigade. Carroll's Brigade (Second Corps) contained, at one time, regiments from seven dif- 
ferent states. In the Confederate Army an opposite policy prevailed, and, so far as possible, 
regiments from the same states were grouped in brigades. Another thing which enabled the 
Vermont Brigade to win its prominent place in history was its continuous, unbroken organi- 
zation. It was formed at the beginning of tlie war with five regiments which served 
together through tiie entire war. Wlieii their term of enlistment expired, in 1864, they 
re-enhsted, and tlius preserved the existence of the brigade. The only change in the organi- 
zation was the addition of the Eleventh Regiment (1st Vt. H. Arfy) which joined in May, 
1864, it liaving served previously in the forts about Washington. This feature of a continu- 
ous organization is an important one in view of tlie fact that it was the only one, out of two 
lumdred or more brigades, which served through the war without being broken up, or reor- 
ganized. The same five regiments of the old Vei'inont Brigade which picketed the Potomac 
in 1861, marched together at the Grand Review in 1805. It was commanded successively by 
General Wm. F. Smith, formeily of the Third Vermont ; General W. T. Brooks ; Col. Henry 
Whiting, Second Vermont ; and General Lewis A. Grant, formerly of the Fifth Vermont. 
At one time the Twenty-sixth New Jersey, a nine months regiment, was attached to the brig- 
ade for a few months, but it was a temporary arrangement only. The "old" Brigade 
should not be confounded with the Vermont Brigade (Stannard's) which was so pi'ominently 
engaged at Gettysburg. This latter organization was in the First Corps, and was composed 
of nine months troops, Gettysburg being its only battle.

In proportion to its numbei-s tliis brigade sustained the heaviest loss of any in the war. 
The brigade proper contained only the five regiments mentioned ; and, yet, its aggregate of 
losses is exceeded in only one instance. At Manassas, under command of General Gibbon, 
the first four regiments named lost 148 killed, 62G wounded, and 120 missing; total, 891, out 
of about 2,000 engaged. At Gettysburg, General Meredith connnanding, the five regi- 
ments were engaged, losing 102 killed, 721 wounded, and 207 missing ; a total of 1,153 casual- 
ties, out of 1,883 engaged, or 01 percent. Most of the missing at Gettysburg were killed or 
wounded. The Iron Brigade was also hotly engaged at Soutli Mountain, Antietam, The 
Wilderness and Spotsylvania. It was organized in August, 1801, at which time it was com- 
posed of the three Wisconsin regiments and the Nineteeutli Indiana. In October, 1S02, the 
Twenty-fourth Michigan was added. The Second Wisconsin and Nineteenth Indiana did not 
reenlist, and so were mustered out, respectively, in June and August, 1801. During tlie Wil- 
derness campaign the Seventh Indiana was attached to the brigade, but it was mustered out 
in August. The First New York Sharpshootei's' Battalion was also attached to the brigade at 
one time, joining it in the fall of 1803. In Febiuaiy, 1805, tlie brigade was broken up, the 
Twenty-fourth Michigan having been ordered to Baltimore. The Sixth and Seventh Regi- 
ments remained in the First Brigade, Third Division (Ci'awford's), Fiftlr Corps, while the 
Sharpshooters' Battalion was assigned elsewhere. General John Gibbini commanded the 
Iron Brigade at Manassas, South Mountain, and Antietam ; General Meredith, at Gettys- 
burg ; and General Cutler at the Wilderness. Cutler was succeeded in 1801, by General 
Edward S.Bragg, — formerly Colonel of the Sixth Wisconsin — an officer of marked ability 
and an intrepid soldier. 

There was another organization, in the Army of the Potomac, known as the Iron Brigade, 
and it was in the same division with the " Iron Brigade of the West." It was composed of the 
Second United States Shai-pshooters, the Twenty-second, Twenty-fourth, Thirtieth, and 
Eighty-fourth New York, forming Hatch's (1st) Brigade, Fii-st Division, First Corps. But 
the Twenty-second, Twenty-fourth, and Thirtieth New York were two years regiments, and 
were mustered out in May, 1S(>3, thereby breaking up the organization. The Eighty-fourth 
New York (11th Brooklyn) was an exceptionally fine regiment, while the other regiments in 
the brigade made a reputation, also, as efficient commands. It seems strange that two 
brigades in the same division should adopt like synonyms ; but, in justice to Hatch's Brigade, 
it should be stated that it was the original Iron Brigade, and that Gibbon's Brigade was not 
known by that title until after Antietam, at which time it Avas so designated by a war cor- 
i-esi)ondent, who was apparently unaware of his lack of originality. 



118 Regimental Losses in the Civil War. 



IRISH BRIGADE. 



The Irish Brigade was, probably, the best known of any brigade organization, it having 
made an unusual reputation for dash and gallantry. The remarkable precision of its evolu- 
tions under fire ;* its desperate attack on the impregnable wall at Marye's Heights ; its 
never failing promptness on every field ; and its long continuous service, made for it a 
name inseparable from the history of the war. It belonged to the First Division of the 
Second Corps, and was numbered as the Second Brigade. The regiments which properly 
Ijelonged to the Irish Brigade, together with their losses, were : — 

Killed and 
Died of Wounds, 

63d New York Infantry 15G 

69th New York Infantry 259 

88th New York Infantry. . _ 151 

28th Massachusetts Infantry _ 250 

116th Pennsylvania Infantry 145 

Total ( during the war) 90 1 

The Irish Brigade lost over 4,000 men in killed and wounded ; it being more men than 
ever belonged to the brigade at any one time. With the exception of the Twenty -eighth 
Massachusetts, the regiments were small. At the start they were not recruited to the 
maximum, but left New York with about 800 men each. The three New York regiments 
became so reduced in numbers that, at Gettysburg, they were consolidated into two com- 
panies each ; the One Hundred and Sixteenth Pennsylvania had been consolidated into four 
companies. 

The brigade, which was organized in 1861, consisted originally of three New York regi- 
ments, which selected numbers corresponding to those of certain famous Irish regiments 
in the British Army. The One Hundred and Sixteenth Pennsylvania and Twenty-eighth 
Massachusetts were added in the fall of 1862. Each of the five regiments carried green flags, 
in addition to the national colors. While on the Peninsular and Antietam campaigns, the 
Twenty-Ninth Massachusetts was attached to the brigade, but after Antietam it was detached 
and its place was taken by the Twenty-eighth Massachusetts. In September, 1864-, the 
remnant of the Seventh New York Heavy Artillery was added ; but it was detached in 
February, 1865, and the Fourth New York Heavy Artillery took its place. In July, 1864, the 
One Hundred and Sixteenth Pennsylvania was transferred to the Fourth Brigade. But the Irish 
Brigade was composed, substantially, as above ; and, each of the regiments having ]-eenlisted, 
its service was continuous and unbroken. It was commanded, in turn, by General Thomas 
Francis Meagher, Colonel Patrick Kelly (killed ), General Thos. A. Smyth f (killed\ Colonel 
Richard Byrnes (killed), and General Robert Nugent. 

Mention should also be made of the following named l)rigades, and their losses : — 

•"A severe and well-sustained musketry contest then ensued. ei>ntinuin^' until the ammunition was nearly expended, after which this 
brieado (Meajiher's Iri?li BriRade), having suffered severely, InsinR many valuable officers anil men, was relieved by the brigade of General 
Caldwell, which until this time had remained in support. Caldwell's Brigade advanced to within a short distance of the rear of Jleagher's 
Brigade. The latter then broke by compunies to the rear, and the former bij comjianies to the front, and in this manner passed their respective 
lines."— [Hancock's Official Report.— .\ntietam.]

In each of these brigades there were, at times, slight changes, unnecessary to specify 
here, as they were but temporary arrangements ; the brigades proper were organized as 
stated. Then there was tlie Maryland Brigade ; the Second Jersey Brigade ; the Eagle 
Brigade — Mower's, of the Sixteenth Corps,— which carried the live eagle; Wilder's Light- 
ning Brigade, composed of mounted infantry ; and several crack brigades whose total losses, 
as brigades, cannot well bg stated, owing to the ininy changes in their organizations. 

Here are three fine brigades, with rosters showing their organizations as they stood 
October 20, 1863, at the time the Amiy of the Cumberland was reorganized. The losses 
credited each regiment were incurred during their entire term of service, during which they 
served in other brigades and corps. These brigade organizations were not continuous and 
unchanged like those previously cited ; they are mentioned in this connection because they 
were noted brigades.

CHAPTER X. 



THREE HUNDEED FIGHTING REGIMENTS. 



TT is not claimed that these are the Three Hundred Fighting Regiments of the Army ; but, 
that they are three hundred regiments which evidently did considerable fighting. There were, 
undoubtedly, others which did equally good or, perhaps, better fighting, and tlieir gallant ser- 
vices win be fuUy recognized by the writers who are conversant with their history. But, for 
lack of other information, this chapter deals only with those which sustained the heaviest 
losses in battle. It includes every regiment in the Union Armies which lost over 130 in 
killed and died of wounds during the war, together ^vith a few whose losses were somewhat 
smaller, but whose percentage of killed entitles them to a place in the list. It may be sug- 
gested that large casualty lists are not necessarily indicative of the fighting quahties of a 
regiment ; that on many occasions regiments have rendered valuable service and achieved a 
brilliant success with but slight loss. Granted, as regards some particular action or instance ; 
but, in the long run active service brings its many scars ; where the musketry was the hot- 
test, tlie dead lay thickest ; and there is no better way to find the fighting regiments than to 
follow up the bloody trail which marked their brave advance. 

The losses in these three hundred regiments have been compiled from their muster-out- 
rolls, and counted name by name ; the total of the deaths is, in each case, correct. At times, 
it was difficult to decide as to the company to which a death should be tallied : for men were 
often transferred from one company to another, and, where companies were consohdated, a 
dead man's name often appeared in two or more companies in the same regiment. 

Then, again, in dividing the deaths among the different battles it was sometimes difficult 
to ascertain the action in which the wound was received, as the date of death was often 
given, instead of the date when the wound was received. In such cases the death was tallied 
to the last battle previous to the man's death, that is, the last battle in which his regiment 
was engaged. In some instances the rolls bear the names of men marked simply as " killed 
in action ;" these are recorded here as killed at Place Unknown. But these inaccuracies are 
few and slight, leaving the main result substantially correct as to each regiment. 

In some regiments the rolls wei-e in such condition, owing to the consolidation of com- 
panies and accessions of new companies bearing tlie same letters as the old ones, or to the 
reorganization consequent upon the reenlistment of the regiment, that the regular form of 
tabulation was not practicable, and, so, after stating the total number of deaths — omitting 
company losses — the list of battles is given, accompanied by the official casualty lists of 
killed, wounded, and missing, instead of the number of " killed and died of wounds." Where 
the casualties are stated thus, in "killed, wounded, and missing," the wounded includes the 
mortally wounded. This must be borne in mind to properly undei-stand the nature of tlie loss. 

Where it could be done with accuracy, tlie number of killed and mortally wounded iii 
each action is given in the regimental tabulations of these three hundred regiments ; and this 
is done without confusing it with an additional statement of wounded and missing. The 

(122) 



^ 



Three Hundred Fighting Regiments. 123 

number of wounded is not always an exact, definite statement, owing to the slightly wounded 
which are counted in some regiments and not in others. It is sometimes difficult to draw the 
line between wounds, slight iujuiies, and lack of injury. The missing is a still more indefinite 
quantity, including, as it does, the captured, the missing, the stragglers, and, very often, many 
of the killed and wounded. But there is nothing indefinite about the status of the dead 
soldier, and, so, for purpose of comparison, it is better that the losses of the various regiments 
be stated in "killed or died of wounds," and in that only. 

When the total of the killed and died of wounds in any regiment is known, it is very easy 
to arrive at the number of its wounded, for the proportion, in the aggregate, is a definite and 
well known one, as has been previously shown.* True, this proportion will not always hold 
good for a regiment in the instance of some one battle ; but, in all the battles of a regiment it 
will be found correct, the variations correcting themselves in the aggregate. 

In these three hundred regiments, the title of each is accompanied by the name of its 
brigade, division, and corps. Of course, many regiments served in more than one brigade, 
and each brigade had several commanders. Still, in each case, the brigade mentioned will 
assist largely in identifying the regiment, or recalling to the hasty reader the campaigns in 
which it served. Lack of space debars the tedious details necessary to trace properly the 
changing organizations to which most regiments belonged. 

The loss by disease in Confederate prisons is stated in many instances, but, at the same 
time, it is included in the column of "loss by disease, accidents, &c." 

In stating the total enrollments, care has been taken to subtract transferred men who 
were shifted from one company to another in the same regiment. Deductions are also made 
for men transferred to a regiment after the war had closed, many regiments having received 
large accessions from disbanded organizations just before their own muster-out. In com- 
paring these enrollments with the muster-out-rolls, this fact must receive attention ; other- 
wise, there would be an apparent discrepancy. 

The bands are also omitted in the enrollments as stated here, as all regimental bands 
were ordered discontinued, and were mustered out during the summer of 1862. After that, 
no bands were enlisted, or paid as such, except brigade bands ; and, if a regiment had a band, 
it was formed of enlisted men, or company musicians, detailed for that purpose. 

In addition to the battles mentioned, — in which a regiment lost men killed or mortally 
wounded, — the engagements at which the regiments was " present " are also given. In some 
of the latter, losses were often sustained in wounded or missing men, but, as none of these 
wounded or missing are recorded among those who died of wounds, the battle does not 
appear in the tabulated list. In giving these additional battles at which a regiment was 
"Present, also," intentional omission is made of a certain class of minor affairs which are 
often used by regimental historians to unduly swell their list of battles, but which, if given 
here, would only confuse or mislead a disinterested reader. 

In the cavalry, however, these minor actions were so frequent, and resulted in so many 
casualties in wounded and captured men. that they form an important feature in the history 
of each mounted regiment. But the brief sketches given in the succeeding pages afford no 
room for the long and honorable list of additional actions in which each cavalry regiment 
participated, — actions replete with meritorious details, although they did not result in any 
loss of life. Still, the reader should bear these facts in mind to rightly appreciate the services 
rendered by the mounted regiments. 

In most of the three hundred regiments mentioned in this chapter the figures opposite 
the list of battles show only the number who were killed or who died of wounds. The num- 
ber of the killed, wounded, and missing, for the more important losses of each regiment, will 
be found in the notes appended in each case.

Notes. — This regiment sustained the heaviest loss, killed in action, of any cavalry regiment in the entire army. 
Besides the actions mentioned, it participated in several in which it lost men wounded or captured. Like all 
cavalry commands the First Maine lost many who were captured while on outpost duty, or while foraging and 
raiding within the enemy's lines. Of these, 145 died of disease while in Confederate prisons. 

Colonel Douty, a brave and gallant officer, was killed while leading a successful charge at .Aldie, Va. At St. 
Mary's Church, Va., the First Maine made a desperate fight against great odds, losing 10 officers and 56 men, 
killed, wounded, and missing, — out of 260 who were engaged. Another hard fight occurred at the Boydton 
Road ; and at Cat Tail Run — March 31, 1865 — the regiment sustained its severest loss. In September, 1864, 
the First D. C. Cavalry was consolidated with it, bringing its numbers up to i,Soo men.

Notes. — Of the 2,047 regiments in the Union Army, the First Maine Heavy Artillery sustained the greatest 
loss in batde. Not only was the number killed the largest, but the percentage of killed was exceeded in only 
one instance. Again, its loss at Petersburg, June i8th, was the greatest of any one regiment in any one action, 
during the war. It made the charge that day with about 900 muskets, losing 632* in killed and wounded. Only 
a month previous, the regiment had suffered a terrible loss in its gallant fight on the Fredericksburg Pike, near 
Spotsylvania, May 19, 1864, where it lost 82 killed and 394 wounded ; total, 476. .'\raong the killed were si.\ 
officers, and in the battle of June i8th, just referred to, thirteen ofificers were killed or mortally wounded, besideri 
twelve others who were hit. This regiment was raised, principally, in the Penobscot Valley, and was organized 
August 21, 1862, as the Eighteenth Maine Infantry. Major Daniel Chaplin, of the Second Maine, was appointed 
Colonel. He fell, mortally wounded, August 18, 1864, at Strawberry Plains, Va. (Deep Bottom). The regiment 
left the State on August 24, 1862, and was changed to heavy artillery in December. It remained in the defences 
of Washington until May, 1864, when it joined Grant's Army at Spotsylvania. All its losses occurred within a 
period of ten months. During the spring campaign of 1865, it was in De Trobriand's Brigade of Mott's Divi- 
sion, Second Corps. 

» The official report states the loss at 580 ; the State Reports put it at 604.

Notes. — Recruited mostly from the Kennebec lumbermen ; the men were of a large, powerful type, their aver- 
age weight in one company being 170 pounds. The regiment was organized at Augusta, arriving at Washington 
June 7, 1861. It fought at First Bull Run, and a year later was engaged in another bloody contest on the same 
field. During 1862 it served in Birney's Brigade of Kearny's Division; it was in that command at Fair Oaks, 
where it made a gallant and successful charge, but lost nearly one-third of the number engaged ; the loss was 8 
killed, 71 wounded, and 3 missing. It participated in all the battles and marches of the Third Corps, becoming 
sadly reduced in number by deaths, wounds, and the sickness incidental to arduous campaigns. When it entered 
the field at Gettysburg, it numbered 14 ofificers and 196 rifles ; of this number it lost 18 killed, 59 wounded, and 
45 missing. Under command of Colonel Lakeman, it tendered good service in that battle ; on the second day, 
in company with Berdan's Sharpshooters, it made an advance outside the lines which developed the enemy's 
position and elicited timely warning of the attack on Sickles' Corps. The tenacity with which the Third Maine 
held that skirmish line at Gettysburg is worthy of note. The regiment did some more hard fighting in the 
Wilderness campaign, during which it fought in Hancock's Second Corps. Lt. Col. Edwin Burt was killed at the 
Wilderness, and Major \\'illiam C. Morgan at the North Anna. While in line at Cold Harbor, the regiment was 
ordered home, and the recruits transferred to the Seventeenth Maine.

Organized at Rockland, Me., May 8, 1861. Leaving the State on June 20th, it went into action, a month 
later, at First Bull Run. In September, 186 1, a mutiny occurred in the regiment, which resulted in the transfer 
of about 100 men to another command. The men mutinied because they had enlisted for three months, or 
supposed the regiment was a three-months one, and so objected to being held for three years. Similar irregu- 
larities on the part of recruiting and mustering-in officers had become a frequent cause for complaint throughout 
the Army. In this case Company H was disbanded, and its place filled, in November by a new company of 
recruits. The regiment entered upon the Peninsular campaign in Birney' Brigade ot Kearny's Division, Third 
Corps. It fought in this command, also, during Pope's campaign, its losses at Manassas — including Chantilly — 
amounting to 14 killed, 85 wounded, and 15 missing. At Fredericksburg, it lost 22 killed, 66 wounded, and 32 
missing; at Gettysburg, 11 killed, 59 wounded, and 74 missing. In 1864, the division was transferred to the 
Second Corps. In the battle of the Wilderness the regiment was badly cut up ; 32 were killed, 136 wounded, 
and 3 missing. The Fourth Maine lost three Majors killed in action : Major Pitcher was killed at Fredericksburg ; 
Major Whitcomb fell, mortally wounded, at Gettysburg, and Major Grey was killed at the Wilderness. The term 
of service of the regiment expired on the isth of June, 1864, when it was ordered home for muster-out, and the 
recruits remaining in the field were transferred to the Nineteenth Maine.

Notes. — There was no more brilliant action in the war than the affair at Rappahannock Station, Va., Nov. 7, 
1863. The Sixth Maine was the most prominent in that successful fight, although gallantly assisted by the other 
regiments of the brigade. The enemy, about 2,000 strong, occupied an intrenched position ; the Sixth Maine, 
with uncapped muskets, supported by the Fifth Wisconsin, stormed their works, and springing over them were 
engaged in a desperate struggle, some of the fighting being hand to hand ; bayonets were freely used, and in one 
'^a^e an officer thrust his sabre through an antagonist. Good fighting was also done at other points of the line, 
the total result being a brilliant victory, with large captures of men and material. But the brunt of the fight fell 
on the Sixth. It lost 38 killed, and loi wounded, out of the 321 present in action ; and of 21 officers engaged, 
16 were killed or wounded. This was not the first time that the Sixth had leaped the enemy's breastworks 
against the blazing muzzles of aline of rifles. In the successful assault on Marye's Heights, May 3, 1863. the 
flag of the Sixth was the first to wave over the enemy's works. The regiment was then in the famous " Light 
Division " of the Sixth Corps, and did not fire a shot during the charge, but carried the works with the bayonet ; 
and mention is made of one man in the Sixth who bayoneted two adversaries, and then bramed a third with the 
butt of a musket. The loss of the regiment in that battle was 23 killed, iii wounded, and 35 missing. Major 
Haycock and four captains were among the killed. The regiment was mustered out .August 15, 1S64, its three 
vears term of service having expired.

Notes. — Organizedat Augusta, Me., August 21, 1861, from companies recruited in various parts of the State. 
It proceeded immediately to Baltimore, and thence, after a two weeks' stay, to Washington. It encamped there 
two weeks, and then, on Nov. 7, 1861, marched to Lewinsville, Va., where it performed outpost duty until the 
spring of 1862. It joined in the advance on Manassas, and then embarked for the Peninsula. It was then in 
Davidson's (3d) Brigade, Wm F. Smith's Division, Fourth Corps; this division was transferred in May to the 
newly-formed Sixth Corps. The loss by disease and sickness was so great that the regiment took only 181 men 
into action at Antietam ; it was commanded in that battle by Major Hyde, and lost there 12 killed, 63 wounded, 
and 20 missing, — over half of those engaged. Becoming much reduced in numbers, it was ordered home to 
Maine, in October, 1862, to recruit. Five companies — B, C, D, I and K — under command of Lt.-Col. Selden 
Conner, rejoined the corps in January, 1863, and were engaged at Fredericksburg, May 3, 1863, with a loss of 12 
killed, 49 wounded, and 31 missing. In May, 1864, the regiment — then in Getty's Division — entered the 
Wilderness campaign, where it took part in the bloody contest which was waged by the Sixth Corps. From May 
5th to May i8th, it lost 310 in killed and wounded. Its last battle occurred at Fort Stevens, within the city 
limits of Washington, where it assisted in repulsing Early's attack. Major Jones was killed in this action. Its 
term of service expired August 21, 1864, while in the Shenandoah, and the recniits were transferred to the First 
Maine Veteran Infantry.

Notes. — The regiment left the State Sept. 10, 1 86 1 , and in the following month sailed from .Annapolis with Gen- 
eral T. W. Sherman's expedition to Port Royal, S. C. Landing at Hilton Head, Nov. 8, 1861, it remained on 
duty in that Military Department over two years. During its stay there it took part in the reduction of Fort 
Pulaski, the occupation of Jacksonville, Fla., and was present at the bombardment of Fort Sumter. Most of the 
time, however, was passed in garrison duty at Hilton Head, and Beaufort, S. C. In the meantime, the regiment 
received about 300 recruits and 200 conscripts, which kept its ranks up to the maximum, although the loss by 
disease had been very large. In March, 1864, the proposal for reenlistment was accepted by 16 officers and 330 
men, who returned to Maine on the thirty days' furlough granted in such cases. On April 26, 1864, the regiment 
joined Butler's Army, then on the James River, Va., and entered upon the campaign against Richmond, having 
been assigned to White's (3d) Brigade, Ames's (3d) Division, Tenth Corps. It was actively engaged at Drewry's 
Bluff, where it lost 3 killed, 64 wounded, and 29 missing. Colonel Boynton, who was in command, was severely 
wounded, and Major McArthur succeeded to the command. Four days later it was engaged at Ware Bottom 
Church, with a loss of 83, out of the 190 present in action. At Cold Harbor, the regiment was in Stedman's 
Brigade, 2d Division, Eighteenth Corps, and sustained there a loss of 12 killed, 87 wounded, and 2 missing. In 
December, it was assigned to Fairchild's (4th) Brigade, Foster's (ist) Division, Twenty-fourth Corps, in which 
command it fought in the final battles of the war.

Notes. — The Ninth left the State Sept. 24, 1861, and in the next month sailed from Fort Monroe for Hilton 
Head, S. C. The year 1862 was spent in garrison duty at Fernandina, Fla. ; in January, 1863, it returned to Hilton 
Head, where it remained on picket duty until June ; then it joined the forces operating in Charleston Harbor. 
Led by Colonel Emery, it participated in the assault of Strong's Brigade on Fort Wagner, and in the opening 
fight on Morris Island captured two of the enemy's flags. During the Siege of Fort Wagner its casualties, in 
the assaults and in the trenches, amounted to 189 in killed, wounded, and missing. In October, 1863, the regi- 
ment moved to Black Island, S. C. While there, 416 of the original members reenlisted and received their 
furlough. On April 18, 1864, the Ninth proceeded to Gloucester Point, Va., where it was assigned to Ames's 
Division, Tenth Corps. Ascending the James River, the troops landed at Bermuda Hundred, and advanced 
immediately on the enemy's lines. Severe fighting followed, and in the battle of May 20th, the casualties in the 
regiment were 9 killed, 39 wounded, and 4 missing. At Cold Harbor, having been transferred to the Eighteenth 
Corps, it joined in the assault with a loss of 1 2 killed, 55 wounded, and 5 missing. While in the trenches before 
Petersburg, on June 30th, 1864, in an affair on the picket line, there was a loss of 7 killed, 34 wounded, and 5 
missing, out of 102 who went into the fight. The loss at Deep Bottom was 5 killed, 21 wounded, and 29 missing. 
Only 201 were present for duty when ordered to Chaffin's Farm ; in that battle, Lieutenant-Colonel Gray fell at 
the head of the regiment.

Notes. — Organized August 14, 1862, with Captain C.W. Tilden, of the Second Maine, as its Coionel, who com- 
manded it during its entire service. Arriving at Washington on August 21, 1862, it was ordered immediately on 
active duty in ^L1ryland. The fatigue and exposure of a campaign without the customary preparatory service 
cost the regiment many lives, and sent large numbers to the hospital. It was assigned to Root's (ist) Brigade, 
Gibbon's (2d) Division, First Corps, and marched to Fredericksburg with that command. This was its first bat- 
tle ; but its ranks had become so reduced by the sickness, common among raw troops in active service, that only 
427 were present in that action, of which it lost 27 killed, 170 wounded, and 34 missing; of the latter none 
returned. Another severe loss was sustained at Gettysburg. Of the 248 officers and men engaged in that bat- 
tle, the casualties amounted to 9 killed, 59 wounded, and 164 captured. At the close of the fight, 2 officers and 
15 men alone remained ; Colonel 'Lilden was taken prisoner with his men. Many of the wounded died and 
nearly all the amputations proved fatal. In March, 1864, the division was transferred to the Fifth Corps; in 
June the regiment was transferred to Crawford's (3d) Division, and to Baxter's (2d) Brigade of the same corps. 
It fought in all the battles of the Fifth Corps in 1864-5, its hardest fighting occurring at Spotsylvania, where 
Major Leavitt fell, mortally wounded. Another severe fight took place at Hatcher's Run (Dabney's Mills) Feb- 
ruary 6, 1865, in which the regiment lost 3 killed, 60 wounded, and 1 1 missing.

Notes. — Recruited in the counties of York, Cumberland, Oxford, and Androscoggin. It arrived at Washington 
August 23, 1862, where it was engaged in drill and garrison duty until October, when it crossed into Virginia and 
joined Berry's (3d) Brigade, Birney's (ist) Division, Third Corps. The regiment made a creditable record at 
Fredericksburg, and at Chancellorville it sustained a loss of 10 killed, 65 wounded and 38 missing. At Gettys- 
burg, Lt.-Col. C. B. Merrill commanding, it was engaged in Sickles's fight on the second day, losing 18 killed, 
112 wounded, and 3 missing. In March, 1864, Birney's Division was transferred to the Second Corps, the regi- 
ment being placed in General Alex. Hays's Brigade of that division — Second Brigade, Third Division, Second 
Array Corps. Led by Colonel West, it crossed the Rapidan with 507 men, and fought under Grant at the battle 
of the Wilderness, where its casualties amounted to 22 killed, 155 wounded, and 15 missing; total, 192. In 
June it was transferred to the First Brigade, with which it took part in the storming of Petersburg, June 16-18, 
1864. Its losses in those bloody and disastrous assaults were 13 killed, 66 wounded, and 5 missing. In June, 
129 men were received by a transfer from the Third Maine, the term of that regiment having expired ; even 
with this accession, the ranks showed butlitde over 200 muskets in line. The Seventeenth sustained the heaviest 
loss in battle of any infantry regiment from Maine. It was mustered out on June 4, 1865.

NQT-j-g^ — Recruited in the cotinties of Knox, Waldo, Kennebec, and Sagadahoc. The field officers had already 
served with honorable distinction in other Maine regiments. It arrived at Washington August 29, 1862, having 
been recruited, organized, and equipped within four weeks, a characteristic co.-nmon to most of the regiments 
raised under the second call for troops. It was assigned to Gorman's (ist) Brigade, Howard's (2d) Division, 
Second Corps, with which command it was under fire for the first time, inareconnoissance at Charlestown, W. Va., 
October i6, 1862 ; and, again, in the batde of Fredericksburg, where several of the men were wounded. Under 
command of Colonel Heath, the regiment was conspicuously engaged at Gettysburg, where it faced a./eu d' enfer 
that cost it 29 killed, 166 wounded, and 4 missing ; a total of 199, out of 440 present, all told. During Grant's 
opening campaign the brigade was commanded by General Alex. S. Webb, of Gettysburg fame. The regiment 
entered this campaign with 22 officers and 468 men; losing at the Wilderness 22 killed, 130 wounded, and 
6 missing. The recruits left in the field by the Fourth Maine were transferred to the Nineteenth in June, 1864; 
there were 277 of them, nominally, but only 57 of them actually joined.

Notes. — The Twentieth Maine could not well be other than a good regiment, under the tuition and lead of such 
colonels as Ames and Chamberlain. Ames, who was destined to renown as the central figure at Fort Fisher, left the 
regiment in a few months, but not until he had lead the men in batde, and given them the benefit of his miUtary 
training and experience. Colonel Chamberlain, a professor at Bowdoin, left his chair in spite of strenuous re- 
monstrance and opposition, and tendered his services to the State. He, also, made a brilliant reputation as a 
colonel and a general, and is quoted as having said that " he never left one of his wounded in the hands of the 
enemy, nor one of his dead without fitting burial." Chamberlain and his men did much to save the day at 
Gettysburg, by their prompt and plucky action at Little Round Top. Holding the extreme left on that field, they 
repulsed a well-nigh successful attempt of the enemy to turn that flank, an episode which forms a conspicuous 
feature in the history of that battle. Their loss at Gettysburg was 29 killed and 96 wounded. General Bartlett 
commanded the brigade — 3d Brigade, ist Division, 5th A. C— at the Wilderness, where the regiment was 
hotly engaged, May 5th and 6th, with a loss of 13 killed, 82 wounded, and 16 missing. About 200 recruits were 
received in 1864 ; in June, 1864, there were only about 275 muskets for duty. It was engaged at Five Forks, 
with a heavy percentage of loss, and was skirmishing under fire when the surrender took place at Appomattox. 
After the war closed, the rolls were swelled by accessions from disbanded regiments.

Notes. — Organized at .Augusta, Me., in March and .•\pril, 1864. Leaving the State, April iSth, it proceeded to 
Alexandria, Va., where it was assigned to the 2nd Brigade (General S. G. Griffin's), 2d Division (General R. B. 
Potter's), Ninth Corps. In less than a month after leaving home the regiment went into action at the Wilder- 
ness, and on May 12th was hotly engaged at Spotsylvania, where it lost 11 killed, 94 wounded, and i missing. 
In the fighting at Bethesda Church, June 3d, it lost 15 killed and 39 wounded, and behaved with such gallantry 
that General Griffin complimented it in orders. Under command of Colonel White, the regiment rendered 
efficient service in the assault on Petersburg, June 17th, and at the Mine explosion it was among the first to enter 
the enemy's works. Its losses at the Mine were 9 killed, 26 wounded, and 51 captured or missing. In October 
there were only about 60 men left on duty ; then two new companies joined the regiment, which were designated 
as L and M, and in December the regiment received an accession by the consolidation with it of the Thirty- 
second Maine; 485 men were thus transferred on the rolls, of whom only 181 were present for duty. In less 
than one year's time the Thirty-first Maine lost 674 men, killed or wounded in action, three-fourths of this loss 
occurring in May, June and July, 1864. After the war had ended the regiment was transferred to the Nineteenth 
Corps, and stationed at Savannah, Ga., until .August 20th, 1S65, when it was mustered out.

Notes. — .\rriving at Washington June 23, 1 861, it encamped there a few weeks, and then marched away to First 
Bull Run, with Burnside's Brigade of Hunter's Division. It passed the succeeding fall and winter in Maryland, on the 
lower Potomac. In tlie spring of 1862 it took the field, then in Grover's (ist) Brigade, Hooker's (2d) Division, 
Third Corps. Hooker withstood the brunt of the attack at the battle of Williamsburg, in which the Second lost 
16 killed, 68 wounded, and 19 missing. Upon its return from the Peninsula, Grover's Brigade was hotly engaged 
at Manassas, where the regiment, fighting on that familiar field, lost 16 killed, 87 wounded, and 30 missing, out of 
332 present in action. The Second was ordered home on February 26, 1863, and was absent a couple of months, 
rejoining the Army in June, while on its way to Gettysburg, at which time it was assigned to the Jersey Brigade of 
Humphreys's (2d) Division. It fought in the Peach Orchard, at Gettysburg, and while there, just before the 
opening of the fight on the second day, the roll was called. Only eight men were absent from their places, while 
24 officers and 330 men answered to their names. Of that number, the regiment lost 20 killed, 137 wounded, 
and 36 missing ; of the 24 officers, 7 were killed and 14 wounded. One wounded captain, shot in the forehead, 
wandered into the enemy's lines, where he died and was buried by some brother masons. In August, the regiment 
was assigned to guard duty at Point Lookout, Md., where it remained until May, 1S64, when it took the field as 
a part of Weitzel's (2d) Division, Eighteenth Corps.

Notes. — Organized at Concord in August, 1861, and left the State on Sept. 3d. After a short stay, successively, 
at Long Island, Washington, Annapolis, and Fort Monroe, it arrived November 4th at Port Royal, S. C. Re- 
maining at Hilton Head and its vicinity, the regiment was not under fire until the affair at Secessionville, June 
16, 1862, where, under command of Colonel Jackson, it established a reputation for gallantry and efficiency. It 
took 623 officers and men into that action, sustaining a loss of 9 killed, 93 wounded, and 2 missing; total 104. 
In 1863 it participated in the operations in Chariestoii Harbor, and in April, 1864, sailed from Florida to join the 
Army of the James in Virginia. On the 6th of May, 1864, it landed at Bermuda Hundred with about Soo men, 
Lt.-Col. Josiah J. Plimpton in command. It was engaged at Drewry's Bluff, May 14th, a memorable day in the 
history of the Third New Hampshire. In that battle it made a brilliant and successful charge, but with a loss of 
over 200 men, the loss occurring in less than twenty minutes' time. In July it was armed with Spencer rifles, 
a breech-loader of rapid and effective fire. At Deep Bottom the regiment lost half its number (12 killed, 71 
wounded, and 9 missing). Colonel Plimpton falling, with a bullet through his heart, while leading a charge. The 
regiment was ordered home a few days later ; the recruits and reenlisted men remaining in the field preserved 
the organization. The Third fought at Fort Fisher — then in Abbott's Brigade — and on July 20th, 1865, was 
mustered out of service.

Notes. — Sustained the greatest loss in battle of any infantry or cavalry regiment, in the whole Union Army. 
Known to the corps and division commanders as a reliable regiment, it was the more often called upon to face the 
enemy's fire, or assigned to the post of danger. The rolls were encumbered in 1864 with the names of conscripts and 
mercenaries ; 420 of them deserted, most of them before joining the command. The regiment was always well 
handled. Colonel Cross was an experienced officer who sustained an e.xcellent reputation in the corps ; he fell at 
Gettysburg while in command of the brigade, having remarked to Hancock as he entered the field, that it would 
be his last fight. Colonel Crafts, formerly a sergeant in the Second, passed through all the gradations of rank to the 
colonelcy. The greatest loss, numerically, occurred at Cold Harbor, where the regiment, under Colonel Hapgood, 
entered the enemy's works, but for a lack of support, was forced to relinquish its position. Hapgood took 577 men 
into that action, of whom 202 were killed or wounded. At Fredericksburg, under Cross, the regiment lost 20 killed, 
154 wounded, and 19 missing ; total, 193, out of 303 present. At Gettysburg, Hapgood commanding, it lost 27 
killed, and 53 wounded, out of the 12 officers and 165 men engaged. The regiment served throughout the 
war in the First Brigade, First Division, Second Corps.

Notes. — Organized at Keene, N. H., leaving the State Dec. 25, 1861. It sailed from Annapolis, Jan. 7, 
1862, with the Burnside expedition, disembarking at Hatteras Island, where it went into a camp of instruction. 
After some active service with Reno's Brigade in North Carolina, it returned to Virginia with the Ninth Corps, in 
August, 1862. It had been assigned in the meantime to Nagle's (ist) Brigade, Reno's (2d) Division, in which 
command it fought at Manassas, where it lost 30 killed, 1 1 7 wounded, and 70 missing, out of 450 engaged ; the 
missing ones were killed or wounded men who fell into the enemy's hands. In March, 1863, the Ninth Corps 
was transferred to the West, where the regiment spent two pleasant months on post duty in Kent;:cky. It then 
went to Mississippi where it participated in the siege operations about Vicksburg and Jackson ; thence it returned 
to Kentucky, and in the spring of 1864 rejoined the army of the Potomac in Virginia. While in Kentucky — 
December, 1863 — two hundred and eighty-eight of the men reenlisted, and were furloughed, leaving the 
recruits in camp. The regiment took the field with Grant, in May, 1864, as a part of General S. G. Griffin's 
(2d) Brigade, Potter's (2d) Division. Lt.-Col. Henry H. Pearson was killed at the North Anna. In the siege 
of Petersburg, the regiment occupied an exposed position in the trenches, losing men daily ; its losses there, 
from June 20th to August 20th, 1864, amounted to iS killed and 108 wounded; being under fire constantly, the 
nervous strain and fatigue was terrible.

Notes. — Eleven officers of the Seventh New Hampshire were killed in the assault on Fort W'agner. This was 
the largest number of officers killed in any one action of the war, belonging to any one regiment. After the naval 
bombardment of Fort Wagner had ceased — July 18, 1863 — the assaulting column of troops was formed on the 
beach in the fast-deepening gloom of the southern twilight, and, then, when the night had already set in, advanced 
against the fort, guided only by the flashes of the garrison's rifles and the fire which streamed from the muzzles 
of the heavy guns. Although the assault was a failure, some of the men succeeded in forcing an entrance, 
Colonel Putnam, who commanded the Second Brigade, falling dead within the fort. The casualties amounted to 
41 killed, 119 wounded, and 56 missing; of the latter, few ever returned. In February, 1864, the regiment, 650 
strong, sailed from Hilton Head with Seymour's Division, bound for Florida. It was engaged on the 20th, in the 
disastrous affair at Olustee, Fla., with a loss of 209 killed, wounded, and missing. In April, 1864, it proceeded 
to Virginia, where it joined the Army of the James, taking an honorable part in all the battles of the Tenth Corps. 
Lieutenant-Colonel Thomas A. Henderson fell, mortally wounded, at Deep Bottom. The regiment participated 
in the successful storming of Fort Fisher, after which it remained in North Carolina, being then a part of Abbott's 
Brigade, Tenth Corps. It was mustered out at Goldsborough, N. C, July 17, 1865.

Notes. — Organized at Concord, N. H. Leaving the State August 25, 1862, it was engaged, within twenty days, 
at the battle of South Mountain, Md. Its casualties in that fight were 29 killed and wounded. Though a new 
regiment and under fire for the first time, it took a creditable part in the action; it was then in Nagle's (ist) 
Brigade, Sturgis' (2d) Division, Ninth Corps. Three days later it fought at .Antietam, with a loss of 10 killed, and 
49 Wounded. At Fredericksburg, under command of Colonel Titus, the Ninth was engaged, losing 4 killed, 
68 wounded, and 12 missing. In March, 1863, the Ninth Corps moved to Kentucky, and was stationed at 
various parts of the State. It was a pleasant change from the war-worn fields of Virginia, the men enjoying the 
good food and quarters there provided. In June the Ninth Corps joined Grant's army, then besieging Vicks- 
burg, but returned in August to Kentucky. The spring of 1864 found the Ninth Corps in Virginia again. At 
Spotsylvania, it was engaged in a hotly contested action, holding its position against a desperate counter 
charge of the enemy ; so close were the two lines that their rifles flashed in each others faces ; two companies 
were on the skirmish line; the eight companies in action — about 400 men — lost 41 killed, 95 wounded, and 
48 missing. The regiment remained in Potter's Division until the close of the war.

Notes. — Recruited under the second call for troops, leaving New Hampshire on September 1 1, 1862. After two 
weeks drill on Arlington Heights, Va., it joined General McClellan's Army (Oct. 4th) then at Harper's Ferry, and 
was brigaded with General Ferrero's command, Sturgis's (2d) Division, Ninth Corps. The Eleventh saw its first 
battle at Fredericksburg, December 13, 1862, where it behaved with extraordinary gallantry, its conduct receiving 
universal commendation. Its losses on that day were 19 killed, 151 wounded, and 25 missing; total, 195. The 
Ninth Corps passed the greater part of 1863 in Kentucky, Tennessee, and Mississippi. Before going to the 
West, there was a month's preparatory stay at Newport News, Va., which with the time spent in Kentucky was 
the pleasantest period in the existence of the regiment. It was a time of blue skies, green fields, comfortable 
quarters, good food, and pleasant journeys by land and water. The Eleventh participated, without loss, in 
the investment of Vicksburg, but in the following siege operations at Jackson, Miss., it lost i killed, and 12 
wounded. It was also engaged in the Siege of Knoxville, Tenn., in November, 1863, a campaign notable for its 
hardships and privations. Leaving Tennessee in .'\pril,i864, the regiment rejoined the Army of the Potomac 
(Grififin's Brigade. Potter's Division). Lieutenant Colonel Moses N. Collins was killed at the Wilderness ; the regi- 
ment was engaged at the Petersburg Mine with a loss of 9 killed, 32 wounded, and 22 missing; and in all the 
subsequent battles of the corps, adding to its reputation for hard fighting and heavy losses. 



' With the recruits are included 409 conscripts or mercenaries who deserted and never joined the regiment.

Notes. — Organized at Concord, N. H., September 10, 1862, the ten companies having been recruited within 
ten days time, and arrived at .Arlington Heights, Va., on September 30th. The heaviest loss in the battle of 
Chancellorsville fell to the lot of the Twelfth New Hampshire; it fought there in Whipple's Division, Third Corps. 
In the fighting on Sunday morning it faced for a long time a musketry fire of e.xtraordinary severity, and having 
held its position long after the troops on either side had fallen back, it retired slowly and in good order to avoid 
capture. It entered that engagement with 21 officers and 537 men, (official report) losing 41 killed, 213 wounded, 
and 63 missing; total, 317. The most of the missing were killed or wounded men who were left on the field and 
fell into the hands of the enemy. At Gettysburg, 21 officers and 224 men went into action, sustaining a loss of 
14 killed, 67 wounded, and 11 missing. Soon after this battle, the Twelfth, in company with the Second and 
Fifth New Hampshire, was assigned to duty at Point Lookout, Md., as guards at the military prison, remaining 
there eight months. The regiment received in the meanwhile an assignment of 450 conscripts and mercenaries, 
over 100 of whom deserted on their way to the front. When the Twelfth took- the field in 1864, it was inAVistar's 
Brigade, Weitzel's (2d) Division, Eighteenth Corps. At Cold Harbor it lost 23 killed, 126 wounded, and 15 
missing, out of less than 300 men engaged in the assault. In December, 1864, it was placed in Donohoe's 
Brigade, Devens's Division, Twenty-fourth Corps. This brigade was the first infantry command that entered 
Richmond. The adjutant-general of New Hampshire states in his official report that " no regiment left the state 
with men of finer personal appearance, or of more gentlemanly bearing."

Notes.— Organized at 15urlinglon, Vt., leaving the State December 14. 1 861, with ten companies only; Com- 
panies L and M were not recruited until a year later. In the spring of [862 it was assigned to duty in Banks's 
Corps, then in the Shenandoah Valley, whereupon its active service immediately commenced. It formed part of 
a cavalry brigade, under (General John P. Hatch, with which it took an active part in the fighting at Winchester. 
May 2^, 1862, and on Banks's retreat. In these oiKiations the regiment, acting as a rear guard, lost 105 men. 
captured or missing, in addition to their killed and wounded. At Gettysburg it was in Farnsworth's ( ist) Brigade, 
Kilpatrick's (3d) Division. Cavalry Corps. On the third dav of that battle, Kilpatnck committed the serious 
error of ordering Farnsworth to charge a large bodv of Confederate infmtry who held a strong position, protected 
by stone walls. Farnsworth's men. led bv the First Vermont, leaping their horses over the intervening walls 
and fences, made a gallant but useless attack; Farnsworth was killed, and the regiment lost 13 killed, 25 
wounded, and 27 missing. The First Vermont was one of the best mounted regiments m the service. In addition 
to the actions -."nentioned in the above list, in which it lost men killed or mortally wounded, it participated in as 
many more, in which it sustained losses in wounded or prisoners.

N0TE.S. — Organized at Brattleboro, Vt.,as an infantry command, but was changed to heavy artillery I')ecember 
10, 1862, while on duty in Washington. The additional companies, L. and M. made necessary by this change, 
were recruited in July and October, 1863. The regiment was assigned to garrison duty within the defences of 
Washington, occupying Forts Sloctun, Totten, and Stevens. It remained at Washington until May 12,1 864, when 
it moved, 1,500 strong, to join the .Army of the Potomac. Although nominally a heavy artillery regiment, it 
served as infantry, the only difference being in its larger organization ; it had 12 companies of 150 men each, with 
a captain and four lieutenants for each company, forming three battalions with a major for each. The regiment 
arrived at the front on May 15th, when it was assigned to the Vermont Brigade, and two days later it went into 
action near Spotsylvania. On June ist, Major Fleming's Battalion was engaged in the storming of Cold Harbor, 
with a loss of 13 killed and 107 wounded. In the affair at the Weldon Railroad, June 23d, the regiment lost 9 
killed, 36 wounded, and 257 captured or missing, the captured men belonging to Fleming's Battalion. It was 
next engaged in Sheridan's campaign in the Shenandoah Valley, where Lieutenant Colonel Chamberlin fell 
mortally wounded in the fight at Charlestown. .At the Opequon, the regiment lost 8 killed, 85 wounded, and 6 
missing; and at Cedar Creek. 13 killed, 74 wounded, and 20 missing. Returning to Petersburg, it was engaged 
in the final and victorious assault, with a loss of s killed and 4s wounded.

No Its.— Organized at liurlington, leaving the State June 24, 1S61. The Second rendered important service 
on many battle fields, though with comparatively small casualty lists, until May 4, 1863, when it was hotly engaged 
at the storming of Marye's Heights, and in the covering of the retreat on the next day, at Banks's Ford. The 
brigade was then in Hou-e's Division,. Si.\th Corps; the losses of the regiment in the two days actions were 17 
killed and 116 wounded .At the Wilderness it lost 49 killed, 285 wounded, and 14 missing, a total of 348 out of 
about 700 men engaged. In this battle Colonel Stone fell dead from his horse, and Lieutenant-Colonel Tyler, 
who succeeded him, received a mortal wound. The next week, the regiment fought at Spotsylvania, with a 
loss of 27 killed, 80 wounded, and 16 missing; total, 123. The Second participated in all the battles of the 
Sixth Corps, serving from first to last in the Second Brigade of the Second Division. It was engaged in the final 
battles about Petersburg ; and, at Sailor's Creek, while skirmishing with the rear guard of the retreating enemy, 
the men of the Second fired the last shots of the Si.xth Corps ; though a matter of chance, the honor could not 
have been better awarded.

No'lF.s. — The physii|ue of this regimeiil was unusually fine, the men averaging 5 feet loj inches in height, 
and 161 pounds in weight. On ihe 16th of .\pril, 1862, occurred the remarkable action at Lee's Mills, on the 
Warwick Ri\er, one of the defences of Vorktown. Four companies of the Third — D, E, F, and K — forded 
the stream in the lace (jf the enemy, with a view of making a reconnoissance in force. Through mismanagement 
and lack of suppoii they were driven back, with a loss of 89 killed and wounded, out of the 192 officers and 
men that crossed. The detachment was ably commanded by Captain Samuel E. Pingree, who was wounded 
twice during the fight. The regiinent crossed the Rapidan, May 4, 1864, with about Coo effectives, under com- 
mand of Colonel Seaver. On the following day, in the battle of the Wilderness, it lost 38 killed, 167 
wounded, and 6 missing; total, 211. .At Spotsylvania it lost 21 killed, and 53 wounded. At Cold Harbor, 
the gallant Seaver, who commanded the regiment at Marj'e's Heights and in most all its battles, again led 
them in a bloody assault ; though there were less than 300 in line there, the casualties were 14 killed, and 53 
wounded, and 5 missing. On July 16, 1864, the remnant of the regiment was mustered out, the recruits and 
reenlisted men having been consolidated into a battalion of six companies which remained in the field.

Notes. — The Fourth left Brattleboro on the 21st of September, 1861, joining the other regiments of the 
brigade at Chain Bridge, Va. It was engaged on picket duty, varied by an occasional reconnoissance, until 
March, 1862, when active service in the field commenced. It passed through the Peninsular and Maryland 
campaigns with slight loss, no close fighting occurring until it engaged the enemy at Fredericksburg, Dec. 13, 
1862. In that battle it fought on the skirmish line, where it lost 11 killed, 43 wounded, and 2 missing; 4 men 
were killed and 14 wounded, in Company B, by a single discharge of canister. At the Wilderness, Colonel 
Foster commanding, the regiment encountered a terrible musketry fire, losing 41 killed, 223 wounded, and 4 
missing — a total of 268, out of less than 600 engaged ; 7 officers were killed and 10 wounded, while the missing 
ones all met the same fate. On June 23, 1864, in the affair at the Weldon Railroad, 8 officers and 133 men of 
the regiment were surrounded and captured, together with four companies of the Eleventh Vermont. Half of 
these men died in confederate prisons. Two hundred and ten of the men reenlisted, which, together with the 
recniits, preserved the organization after the muster-out in September, 1864. enabling the regiment to still hold 
its place in the renowned brigade and participate in all the subsequent battles of the corps.

Notes. — .^t the battle of Savage Station the heaviest loss, by far, was sustained by the Fifth Vermont. In 
compliance with orders to advance and push back the enemy, General Brooks, commanding the Vermont 
Brigade, moved forward into the woods on the left of the line. The Fifth, in its advance, stepped over a regi- 
ment which, refusing to advance further, had thrown themselves on the ground. The Fifth forced its way into 
the enemy's lines so far that, having lost connection, it encountered a severe canister fire on its flank. Facing 
some of the companies to meet the flank attack, it maintained its advanced position and silenced the enemy's 
fire. It retired a few hours later in company with the brigade, joining the Army in its movement to the James. 
The regiment took 428 officers and men into this fight ; its casualties were 45 killed, and 143 wounded — Company 
E losing 44 men out of 59 in line, 25 of whom were killed. In February, 1863, Colonel Grant was promoted to 
the command of the brigade, remaining in that position until the end of the war. He was succeded by Colonel 
Lewis, who led the regiment in the batde of the AVillderness, the losses there amounting to 33 killed, 187 wounded, 
and 26 missing. Colonel Lewis being severely wounded, was succeeded by Major Charles P. Dudley, who lost 
his life at Spotsylvania. In February. 1865, Captain Kennedy, of the Third Vermont, was appointed colonel. He 
led the regiment in its brilliant assault at Petersburg, .April 2, 1865, where the flag of the fifth was the the first in 
the corps to wave over the enemy's works.

Notes. — It left the State on October 19. 1861, joining the Vermont Brigade at Camp Griffin. Va., near 
Chain Bridge. Within a month one-third of the men were on the sick list, the brigade being attacked by some 
peculiar epidemic, from which the adjoining camps were comparatively exempt. When the regiment took the field 
in March, 1862, over 50 deaths had occurred from disease. Its first experience under fire was at Lee's Mills, Va., 
near Yorktown. In that, fight five companies crossed and re-crossed the Warwick River — fording it waist deep 
— under a sharp fire, with a loss of 13 killed and 67 wounded. In the affair at Funkstown, Md., July 10, 
1863, the Vermont Brigade, with no supports near, held successfully a long skirmish line against an attack made 
by a strong force of Confederate infantry. Its efficiency in this action was fully recognized in the official reports 
of both division and corps commanders. The loss of the Sixth at Funkstown was 3 killed and 19 wounded, the 
men having fought, mostly under cover. M the Wilderness the regiment lost 34 killed, 155 wounded, and 7 
missing; total, 196. Colonel Barney, who commanded the Sixth at Marye's Heights and in the subsequent 
campaigns, was killed at the Wilderness. .At the Opequon the Sixth lost 5 killed and 45 wounded ; and at Cedar 
Creek. 5 killed, 32 wounded, and 11 missing. The original regiment was mustered out October 16, 18O4, 
leaving about 320 effectives — recruits and reenlisted men — in the field.

Notes. — .Although the Seventeenth was in service only one year, yet itsaw more fighting and sustained greater 
losses in action than three-fourths of the regiments in the whole Union .\rmy. It left the State April 18, 1864, with 
seven companies, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Cummings ; two weeks later it went into action at 
the Wilderness. Though without drill or necessary preparation the regiment moved steadily under fire, its colors 
waving on the line of the farthest advance. Owing to the prevalence of an epidemic in the ranks, it took only 
313 muskets into that action, losing 8 killed, 63 wounded, and 3 missing. The next week, led by Major Reynolds, 
it fought at Spotsylvania, its casualties there amounting to 10 killed and 60 wounded. M the Mine Explosion it 
lost S killed, 22 wounded, and 23 missing — Major Reynolds and 5 line officers losing their lives in this affair. 
The regiment also sustained heavy loses at Petersburg, both in the general assault of June i8th, and in the 
trenches, where, for months* men were killed or wounded every day. Lieutenant-Colonel Cummings, who was 
wounded at the Wilderness, resumed commancf at the battle of Poplar Grove Church, but only to lose his life in 
that battle. Three more companies joined the regiment during the summer and fall of 1864. On April 2, 1865, 
the Seventeenth took part in the storming of the works at Petersburg — its last battle — losing in that action 8 
killed, 39 wounded, and 2 missing. It was mustered out July 14, 1865.

Notes. — The Second Massachusetts was the best officered regiment in the entire Army. Its colonel and 
Ueutenant-colonel were educated at West Point, the latter graduating at the head of his class ; the line officers 
were selected men , for the most part collegians whose education, supplemented by the year of practical service 
in the field preliminary to the first battle, left nothing that could be desired to make them equal in every respect 
to any line of officers, regulars or volunteers. Of the sixteen officers who lost their lives, thirteen were Harvard 
men, whose names appear on the bronze tablets in Han-ard Memorial Hall. The company officers were not 
elected by the men, as in other volunteer commands, but were selected by the authorities who raised the regiment. 
The enlisted men were also above the average in intelligence and soldierly bearing. The Second sustained the 
heaviest loss in action of any regiment in the corps. At Cedar Mountain its casualties were 40 killed, 93 wounded, 
and 40 missing J at Chancellorsville, 21 killed, 1 10 wounded, and 7 missing; and at Gettysburg, 23 killed, 109 
wounded, and 4 missing, out of 316 engaged. The latter loss uccurred within a few minutes, in a hopeless assault 
made by the Second and Twenty-seventh Indiana, which was ordered by a mistake ; the blunder was apparent to 
all, but no one faltered, and each soldier did his duty gallantly ; Lieutenant-Colonel JMudge, who was in command, 
remarked ; " It is murder, but it's the order," and fell dead while waving his sword and cheering un his men.

Notes.— An Irish regiment, whose gallant service on many fields attested the oft-acknowledged valor of the 
Irish soldier. Though organized in April, 1861, it did not reach Washington until June 29th. After a months' 
stay in the vicinity of the Capitol, it crossed into Virginia and encamped on Arlington Heights, remaining there 
until March, 1862, when it went to the Peninsula. Its first battle occurred at Hanover Court House, although it 
participated in the Siege of Yorktown. It was assigned to Griffin's (2d) Brigade. Morell's (ist) Division, Fifth 
Corps, a division famous for the prominent part taken by it at Gaines's Mill and Malvern Hill. The Ninth dis- 
tinguished itself at Gaines's Mill by the steadiness with which it sustained a heavy attack, its losses that day 
amounting to 57 killed, 149 wounded, and 25 missing; total, 231 ; six line officers were killed there, and four 
days later the Colonel fell, mortally wounded, at Malvern Hill. The regiment was engaged at Gettysburg as skir- 
mishers, hence their slight loss in that batde. While on Grant's campaign, in 1864, the brigade was commanded 
by Colonel Sweitzer, and the division by General Griffin. The losses of the regiment at the Wilderness were 26 
killed, 108 wounded, and 3 missing; and at Spotsylvania, 25 killed, 71 wounded, and 9 missing. During the 
entire period of its active service it was in the Second Brigade, First Division. Fifth Corps. It was reheved

NoTiis. — Recruited mostly in Middlesex Coimtv. The colonelcy was tendered to Powell T. Wyman, a grad- 
uate of West Point, who was in luirope when the war broke out, but returned and offered his services to his State. 
The regiment left Massachusetts .August 17, 1861, and proceeded to Old Point Coinfort, Va., where it encamped 
for the winter. In May, 1S62, it went to Suffolk, and in Jnne joined McClellan's army, then before Richmond, 
when it was assigned to (irover's (ist) Brigade, Hooker's (2d) Division, Third Corps. Within a few days after 
its arrival there, the regiment was ordered to develop the enemy's position in the woods on the Williamsburg 
Road — June 18, 1862 — in which affair the Sixteenth established a reputation for efficiency under fire ; its loss 
in that fight was 17 killed. 30 wounded, and 14 missing ; the latter were killed or wounded. Colonel Wyman 
was killed a few days after, at Crlendale. Major Gardner Banks commanded the Sixteenth at Manassas, and in 
the ijreliminary action at Kettle Run ; in these actions the regiment lost 19 killed, 64 wotmded, and 27 missing. 
.\t Chancellorsville tiie losses were 6 killed, 59 wounded, and 8 missing; at Gettysburg, 15 killed, 53 wounded, 
and 13 missing. In 1864, the division was transferred to the Second Corps, in which command it fought in the 
Wilderness campaign. Lieutenant-Colonel Waldo Merriam, who commanded the regiment, was killed at Spot- 
sylvania. The Sixteenth was ilischarged July 11, 1864, and the recruits and reenlisted men remaining in the 
licM were transferred to the I'.lcveilth Massachusetts.

Notes.— Organized at Lynnfiekl. Mass., and arrived at Washington .August 30. 1861. It was stationed in 
Maryland, along the Upper Potomac, tnitil .March, 1862. when it was assigned to Dana's (3d) Brigade, Sedgwick's 
(2d) Division, Second C^orps, with which command it then moved to the Peninsula. It was hotly engaged at 
Glendale, its losses there and at Malvern Hill, amounting to 19 killed, 84 wounded, and 42 missing. .\t Glendale. 
Colonel Hinks was wotnided, and Major Henry J. Howe was killed. The regiment was engaged at Antietam, in 
Sedgwick's contest in the woods around the Dunker Church, losing there 8 killed. 108 wounded, and 30 missing; 
Colonel Hinks was again severely wounded. The loss at Fredericksburg was 14 killed, 83 wounded, and 8 
missing. In this engagement, the Nineteenth — under Captain Weymouth — crossed the river in boats, together 
with the Seventh Michigan, acting as a forlorn hope. The boats crossed in the face of the enemy's fire from the 
opposite bank, which had hitherto prevented the laying of the pontoons. The Nineteenth, under Colonel 
Devereux, distinguished itself at Gettysburg, winning especial mention in the histories of that battle; its casualties 
there were 9 killed. 61 wovmded, and 7 missing, out of 141 engaged. During the Wilderness campaign it was m 
NVebb's ( ist) I'.rignde. Gibbon's (2d) Division, and fought in all the subse(iuent battles u( ihe Second Corps.

Notes. — Central Humphreys — Chief of Staff, Army of the Potomac — in his able history. The 
Virginia Campaign of 1864 and 1865, alludes to the Twentieth as "one of the very best regiments in the ser- 
vice." It served on the Peninsula, and at .\ntietam, in Dana's (3d) Brigade, Sedgwick's (2d) Division. At 
Fredericksburg, the brigade, under Colonel Norman Hall of the Seventh Michigan, distinguished itself by cross- 
ing the river in the face of the enemy's riflemen, who occupied the buildings on the opposite bank. To the 
Twentieth was assigned the bloody task of clearing the streets ; in column of companies, led by Macy, it fought 
its way through the main street of the city exposed to a terrible fire from the windows and housetops ; its casual- 
ties in this fight were 25 killed and 138 wounded ; no iiiissiiii;. At Gettsburg, it lost 30 killed, 94 wounded, and 
3 missing; total, 127, out of 12 officers and 218 men who went into that action. The Twentieth sustained the 
greatest loss in battle of any Massachusetts regiment ; also, a remarkable f;\tality in its Field and Staff, losing a 
Colonel, Lieutenant-Colonel, two Majors, an Adjutant, and a Surgeon, killed in battle. Colonel Revere was mor- 
tally wounded at Gettysburg ; Lieutenant-Colonel Ferdinand Dreher received a fatal wound at Fredericksburg ; 
Major Henry L. Abbott was killed at the Wilderness ; Major Henry L. Patton died of wounds received at 
Deep Bottom; and Surgeon Edward H. Revere was killed at Antietam while in the discharge of his duties.

Notes. — Composed mainly of Worcester county men. It left the State August 23, 1861, and was stationed 
at Annapolis until January 6, 1862, when it sailed with the Burnside expedition to North Carolina, having been 
brigaded in General Reno's command. Under command of Lieutenant-Colonel Alberto C. Maggi, it was promi- 
nently engaged at Roanoke Island, where its casualties were 5 killed and 39 wounded. In the following month, 
commanded by Colonel Clarke, it fought gallantly at New Berne, where it suffered a loss of 15 killed and 42 
wounded; among the killed was .Adjutant Stearns. At Chantill} — in Ferrero's Brigade, Reno's Division — 
the regiment encountered the hardest fighting in its experience ; Lieutenant-Colonel Joseph P. Rice was killed, 
andtlie total of casualties amounted to 22 killed, 98 wounded, and 26 captured, out of less than 400 men 
present in action. At Fredericksburg — Ferrero's ( 2d) Brigade, Sturgis's ( 2d) Division — the regiment rendered 
efficient ser\'ice by the skill with which, from an advanced position and good marksmanship, it kept down the 
enemy's fire. In this action two color bearers were killed, and others were wounded, one of the latter losing 
both arms. Leasure's Brigade distinguished itself particularly in the battle of the Wilderness, \yhere it swept 
down the line, across and opposite Hancock's front ; it was a daring charge, and accomplished with a remarkably 
small loss. The Twenty-first was mustered out in October, 1864; the men remaining in the field were trans- 
ferred to the Thirty-sixth Massachusetts.

Notes. — Organized at Lynnfield by the efforts of the Hon. Henry \\"ilson. who afterwards became vice-presi- 
dent of the United States. The regiment arrived at Hall's Hill, Va., on October 13, 1861, and, encamping there, 
was engaged in perfecting its drill and disciphne until March, 1862, when it commenced active service in the 
Peninsular Army. It served there in Martindale's (ist) Brigade, Morell's (ist) Division, Fitz John Porter's 
Corps. It was engaged in Porter's great battle at Gaines's Mill, where it was one of the last to yield its ground, 
holding its position so long that it lost several prisoners thereby. Its casualties at Gaines's Mill were 58 killed, 
108 wounded, and 117 captured or missing ; many of the latter were either killed or wounded. Colonel Gove, 
who commanded the Twenty-second in that battle, was killed, and Major Tilton was wounded and captured. 
More hard fighting followed immediately, at Malvern Hill, swelling its losses in the Seven Days Battle to 69 killed, 
153 wounded, and 124 missing; total, 346. .At Gettysburg, General Barnes commanded the division, Colonel 
Tilton, the brigade, and Lieutenant-Colonel Thomas Sherwin, the regiment ; its casualties on that field were 8 
killed, 27 woimded, and i missing. The regiment went into winter-quarters near Bealton, Va., building in addition 
to their huts, a neat chapel which was used by the men as a church and as a Lyceum ; it was also used as a lodge 
room by Warren Army Lodge, No. i, F.A. M. The Twenty-second, though small in numbers, sustained a heavy 
percentage of loss at the Wilderness and .'^potsyhania. losing i j i in killed and wounded — nearly half its strength.

Notes. — Recruited in Worcester county, and left the State November i, 1861. It went to Annapolis, and 
thence with the Burnside expedition to North Carolina, arriving at Hatteras Inlet on February 6, 1862. It was 
in Foster's (ist) Brigade, and was engaged at Roanoke Island with a loss of 6 killed and 44 wounded. It 
remained in North Carolina — in the Eighteenth Corps — until October, 1863, when it moved into South- 
eastern Virginia. In the meantime, 432 of the men reenlisted, and in February, 1864, the regiment returned to 
Massachusetts on a veteran furlough. In .April, 1864, the corps joined the .\rmy of the James, and on May 5th 
landed at Bermuda Hundred. Fighting soon commenced, and on May 9th, at .\rrowfield Church, the regiment 
lost 16 killed, 60 wounded, and 69 captured or missing. At Cold Harbor it sustained its heaviest loss, its casual- 
ties amounting to 24 killed, 142 wounded, and 49 missing, a total of 215 out of 300 reported for duty that 
morning ; six of the officers lost their lives in that action, and the missing ones were neady all killed or wounded. 
The brigade was withdrawn in September, 1864, from its position in the Petersburg Trenches, and ordered to 
New Berne, N. C, on garrison duty. It was mustered out October 20, 1864, and the men remaining in the field 
were consolidated into a battalion of four companies, which served in North Carolina until the close of the war.

Notes. — Recruited in the western part of the State, and arrived at Annapolis, Md., on Novemoer 5, 186 1. 
It remained there undergoing instructions and drill for two months, and then sailed for North Carolina. It was 
assigned to Foster's (ist) Brigade, and fought under Burnside at Roanoke Island and New Berne, its casualties 
in the latter action amounting to 9 killed and 43 wounded. The regiment remained in North Carolina during 
the next two years. Colonel Lee was in command of the brigade most of the time, leaving the regiment to the 
command of Lieutenant-Colonel Luke Lyman. During its stay in North Carolina it was engaged with credit in 
numerous minor battles and skirmishes. In April, 1864,11 joined the .Army of the James in its advance on 
Richmond. Al the battle of Drewry's Bluff the regiment was surrounded while fighting in a dense fog, losing in 
addition to its killed and wounded, 252 of its number taken prisoners. .\mong the captured were the Colonel, 
Lieutenant-Colonel, and General Heckman.. Part of the regiment es'caping, the command devolved upon Major 
\Villiam A. Walker, who was killed soon after at Cold Harbor. On that bloody field the remnant of the Twenty- 
seventh lost 22 killed, 68 wounded, and 4 missing. In the assault on Petersburg, June 15, 1864, it sustained a 
further loss of 13 killed, and 30 wounded. In August, 1864, the regiment returned to North Carolina where it

Notes. — Composed mostly of men of Irish birth. It was organized at Boston, and left the State January 
II, 1862.' Proceeding soon after to Hilton Head, S. C, it remained in that Department until August, when it 
sailed for Virginia ; it was then in Stevens's Division, Ninth Corps, in which command it fought at Manassas and 
Chantilly. In these engagements, under command of Major Cartwright, its casualties amounted to ^;i killed, 
188 wounded, and 13 missing ; total, 234. At .Antietam — then in Willcox's Division — the regiment numbered 
less than 200 in line, but it lost in that battle, 12 killed and 36 wounded. It was transferred, in November, 1862. 
to Hancock's (1st) Division, Second Corps, in which division it afterwards remained. It was placed in the Irish 
Brigade, and charged with it at Fredericksburg, losing 14 killed, 124 wounded, and 20 missing, out of 416 
engaged. In May. 1864, it crossed the Rapidan with 505 officers and men— General Barlow in command of 
the division. At the Wilderness the regiment lost 15 killed, 86 wounded, and 14 missing. At Spotsylvania its 
losses were 23 killed, 79 wounded, and 8 missing; half its losses there occurred in the affair of May i8th, in 
which Major Andrew J. I.awlor was killed. Colonel Byrnes, an able and gallant officer, fell at Cold Harbor. The 
regiment was mustered out December 13, 1864; the recruits and reenlisted men remaining in the field were 
eonsoiidated into a battalion of five companies which served through the rest of the war.

Notes. — The enrollment of the Thirty-second will give no idea of its percentage of loss, for it received over 
800 men from disbanded regiments, many of these accessions occurring after the fighting was over. When 
finally disbanded, in July, 1865, it comprised the remnants of seven regiments, viz : the Ninth, Twelfth, Thirteenth, 
Eighteenth, Twenty-second, Thirty-second, and Thirty-ninth. It was organized, originally, as a battalion of si.K 
companies, for garrison duty at Fort Warren, in Boston Harbor. The six companies left the State May 26, 1862, 
aud after a month's encampment at Washington, on Capitol Hill, embarked for the Peninsula, joining General 
McClellan's Army July 3, 1862, just after Malvern Hill. It was assigned to Griffin's (2d) Brigade, Morell's (ist) 
Division, Fifth Corps ; four more companies joined the regiment soon after. The division was commanded at 
Gettysburg by General Barnes, and fought in the wheat field, the regiment losing 13 killed, 62 wounded, and 5 
missing, out of 229 taken into the fight. In January, 1864, 330 of the men reenlisted, and, being granted a 
furlough for thirty-five days, the regiment w-ent to Boston. Soon after its return the army broke camp, and 
moved out to meet Lee in the Wilderness. \X. Spotsylvania the regiment encountered hard fighting, and, in the 
actions near that place, lost 23 killed, loi wounded, and 5 missing; nearly one-half its effective strength. 
Colonel Prescott was killed in the disastrous assault on Petersburg, June 18, 1864.

Notes. — Recruited in the five Western counties of the State. Colonel Wells had already served with honor- 
able distinction as Lieutenant-Colonel of the First Massachusetts before he was transferred to the command of the 
Thirty-fourth. The regiment left Worcester, 1,015 strong, on August 15, 1862, and proceeded direct to Virginia. 
For several months it was stationed at Fort Lyon, near Alexandria, Va., and also did duty awhile in Washington. 
In July, 1863, it was ordered to Harper's Ferry, and, thence, on various campaigns in the Shenandoah Valley. It 
commenced the spring campaign of May, 1864. with 670 men present for duty, and took about 500 into the action 
at New Mai ket, May 15, 1864, its casualties amounting to 28 killed, 1 74 wounded, and 19 missing; total, 221. 
At Piedmont it lost 15 killed, and 95 wounded ; at Opequon, 6 killed and 96 wounded out of less than 300 en- 
gaged ; at Strasburg, 9 killed, 48 wounded, and 40 missing, out of 250 present in that fight. In the latter action 
Colonel Wells was killed and fell into the enemy's hands. In December, 1864, the regiment was transferred to 
Eastern Virginia, and assigned to Turner's Division, Twenty-fourth Corps, A riny of the James. It participated 
in the desperate but victorious assault on the works at Petersburg, April 2, 1865, and, taking part in the pursuit 
u[ Lee's .\nny, was present at the final scenes at .\]jpoinattox.

Notes. — Organized at Worcester, and left the State .\\igust 22, 1S62. Both Colonel Wild and Lieutenant 
Colonel Carruth had seen service in the First Massachusetts. .After a short stay on Arlington Heights, the regi- 
ment was ordered to join McClellan's Army, then on its way to meet Lee in Maryland. It was assigned to 
Ferrero's (2d) Brigade, Reno's (2d) Division, Ninth Corps. It was engaged at South Mountain, where it won 
praises from all who saw it in action ; Colonel Wild received a serious wound there, resulting in amputation of an 
arm. Three days later, the regiment fought at Antietam, the casualty list at that battle footing up 48 killed, 160 
wounded, and 6 missing ; Major Sidney Willard, who was in command, was killed while cheering on his men. 
The Thirty-fifth accompanied the corps in its western campaigns in Kentucky, at Vicksburg, and at the siege of 
Knoxville, Tenn. Upon its return to Virginia it was brigaded in the First Brigade of Stevenson's (1st) Division, 
from which it was subsequently transferred to Potter's (2d) Division. .\t Poplar Spring Church the regiment, 
under Lieutenant-Colonel Hudson, lost 6 killed, 19 wounded, and 156 prisoners, — the latter loss occurring not 
through any fault of the men, nor of the officers. The Thirty-fit'th remained on duty before Petersburg, suffering 
heavy losses in the trenches, and sharing in the triumphant termination of the siege.

Notes. — Composed of Berkshire County men, and left the State Sept. 7, 1862. Arriving in Maryland it 
was assigned to Devens's (2d) Brigade of Couch's Division. This division was soon after attached to the Si.xth 
Corps as the Third Division, General Newton in command. The Thirty-seventh participated in several battles, 
displaying praiseworthy steadiness, but sustaining slight loss, until (jrant's campaign in 1864. when it took part in 
some bloody fighting. It crossed the Rapidan May 5. 1864, with 609 officers and men present for duty, and was 
soon in the thickest of the Wilderness fight. It lost there 30 killed, loi wounded, and 6 missing; the ktter 
were undoubtedly killed. An equally large percentage of loss occurred at Spotsylvania. In the various actions 
and skirmishes about that place, from May 8th to May 21st, its casualties amounted to r6 killed, 65 wounded, and 
10 missing. In July the regiment was placed in the Third Brigade, Russell's (ist) Division, Colonel Edwards 
being placed in command of the brigade. At the battle of the Opequon the regiment lost 1 2 killed, and 79 
wounded out of 296 men present in that action, and captured a stand of colors from Stonewall Jackson's old regi- 
ment. At Sailor's Creek the Thirty-seventh was commanded by Captain .Arch. Hopkins, and encountered there 
some of the closest hand-to-hand fighting of the war. The regiment was one of the first to enter Petersburg, the 
surrender of the city being made to Colonel Edwards by the Mayor and Aldermen, Colonel Edwards being in 
command of the Sixth Corps skirmish-line.

Notes. — Organized nt Rendville, Mass., recruiting having commenced in December, 1863. Many of the 
men had served terms of enlistment in other regiments. It left the State March 21, 1864, and, with about 850 
men, proceeded to .'\nnapolis, where it was attached to the First Brigade, Stevenson's (ist) Division, Ninth Corps. 
In the latter part of .-\]iril it marched to .Alexandria, \'a., and thence to the Wilderness. Colonel Clriswold was 
killed in that action, and the < asualties, as given in the State rejiorts. were 9 killed, 57 wounded, and to missing. 
.At Spotsylvania. May 12th. it lost to killed. 4 i wounded, and i missing ; on the i8th, it also lost there 5 killed, 
and 40 wounded. In the charge of the Ninth Corps on the works at Petersburg — June 17, 1864 — tiie regiment 
was prominently engaged, its losses amounting to 10 killed. 3 1 wounded, and 16 missing ; this was its hardest fight. 
It also sustained serious losses while in the trenches before I'cterslmrg, men being killed or wounded daily for 
several weeks. At the Mine Explosion it lo,,t 4 killed. 21 wounded, and 25 missing. The Fifty-sixth was a steady, 
reliable, fighting regiment ; although its losses, numerically, were not extraordinary, yet its percentage of killed 
was for above the average and entitles it to distinction. The Division was broken up in .August, 1864, and the 
r-^giment transferred to Potter's (2d) Division,

Notes. — This regiment was in active service less than a year, and yet its percentage of killed was one of the 
highest of the war. It left the State April iS, 1864, proceeding to Annapolis where it joined the Ninth Corps — 
First Brigade, First Division, and marched soon after on its way to join the Army of the Potomac. At the Wil- 
derness it was hotly engaged, and with severe loss, its casualties amounting to 57 killed, 158 wounded, and 30 
missing; total, 245 out of 24 officers and 521 men engaged; one company, H, was not in this action, having 
been detailed on duty elsewhere just at that time. Colonel Bartlett was seriously wounded in this batrie. In the 
two actions in which the Ninth Corps was engaged at Spotsylvania, it also suffered a severe percentage of loss, 
losing on May 12th, 13 killed, 55 wounded, and 4 missing; on May i8th, 3 killed, and 14 wounded. The regi- 
ment made a brilliant charge in the assault on Petersburg — June i 7th — carrying the works at the point of the 
bayonet; loss, 11 killed, 30 wounded, and 3 missing. Lieutenant-Colonel Charles L. Chamberlain, a very able 
officer was killed at the North Anna, and Major Albert Prescott, in the charge following the Mine Explosion at 
Petersburg. In this action, the regiment lost 4 killed, 16 wounded, and 3 i missing. It had become so reduced 
in numbers that it could only muster about 70 men present in the battle at Poplar Spring Church. Major James 
Dnherty fell, mortally woimded, at Fort Stedman, March 25, 1865.

N'oTES. — The Second was Rhode Island's fighting regiment. It fired the opening volley at First Bull Run, and 
was inline at the final scenes of .Appomattox. It arrived at Washington, June 22, 1861, and after a few weeks- 
encampment there, marched to the field of First Bull Run. It was then in Burnside's Brigade, of Hunter's Divi- 
sion. Burnside opened that fight with the First Rhode Island dejjloyed as skirmishers, and the Second advanc- 
ing in line of battle. Its casualties in that engagement aggregated 98 in killed, wounded and missing ; among 
the killed were Colonel Slocum, Major Sullivan Ballou, and two captains. During the Peninsular campaign it 
served in Palmer's (3d) Brigade, Couch's (ist) Division, Fourth Corps ; this division was transferred in October, 
1862, to the Sixth Corps as Newton's (3d) Division. The regiment, tmder Colonel Rogers, distinguished itself

wounded, and 6 missing. .\t the Wilderness, it lost 12 killed. 66 wounded, and 5 missing; and at Spotsylvania. 
15 killed, 32 wounded, and 6 missing. In the final battle of the Sixth Corps— at Sailor's Creek, April 6, 1865

bayoneted, and clubbed muskets were freely used. The original regiment was mustered out June 17, 1864, the 
recruits and reenlisted men left in the field were organized into a battalion of three companies, to whirh five new 
ones were subsequentK added in the fall and winter of 1864-5.

Notes. — Recruited in Litchfield County under the second call for troops, as the Nineteenth Infantry. It 
left the State September 15, 1862, proceeding to .Mexandria, Va.. in which vicinity it was stationed during the 
ensuing year, engaged in garrison duty within the fortifications. In November, 1863, it was changed to a heavy 
artillery organization, and the additional number of men made necessary thereby were soon recruited and sent 
forward. On May 17, 1864, it left Alexandria with about 1.600 men, and, acting as infantry, marched to the 
front, where it was assigned to Upton's (2d) Brigade, Russell's (ist) Division, "Sixth Corps. Its first engagement 
was in tlie storming of the earth works at Cold Harbor, where its casualties amounted to 85 killed, 221 wounded, 
and 1 9 missing: the most of the latter were killed or wounded. In that assault the regiment, about 1,400 
strong, led the column with fixed bayonets and uncap])ed muskets, Colonel Kellogg falling in advance of his 
men, pierced by several bullets. In the battle at the Opequon the regiment lost 20 killed, and 118 wounded, the 
killed including Major James Q- Rice and five line officers. Its casualties at Cedar Creek footed up 21 
killed, 107 wounded, and 62 missing. The regiment took part in the repulse of the Confederate sortie at

Notes. — Recruited in various counties of the State. Colonel Terry had already served as Colonel of the 
Second, a three months' regiment which fought at First Bull Run. It left the State September 18, 1861, and in 
the following month sailed from .Annapolis for Port Royal, with Oeneral Sherman's (T. W.) expedition. It dis- 
played a praiseworthy efficiency and steadiness in its first battle — James Island — where, when ordered to retire, 
it halted, dressed its alignment under fire, and retired by battalion front as if on parade ; casualties, 9 killed, 69 
wounded, and 4 missing. In January, 1863, it went to Fernandina, Fla., but in May, four companies — A, B, I, 
and K, returned to Hilton Head, S. C. These four companies were in Strong's Brigade, and were engaged in 
the first assault on Fort Wagner, Jidy i 1, 1S63, where they displayed unusual gallantry. Out of 191 officers and 
men carried to that assault, 103 were killed, wounded or missing. .U Drewry's Bluff, the Seventh sustained its 
greatest loss ; 30 killed. 104 wounded, and 69 missing or prisoners. In the affair at Bermuda Hundred, June 
2d, 1864, it also lost 78 captured, in addition to 25 killed or wounded. The regiment sailed with General 
Terry's expedition to Fort Fisher — then in Abbott's Brigade, .\mes's Division, — and took part in the successful 
storming of that stronghold. Aftei- the capture of Fort Fisher, the Tenth Corps, and with it the Seventh Con- 
necticut, remained iu North Carohna until after the close of the war.

Notes. — Recruited in various counties. It left the State November i, 1861, and proceeded to Annapolis, 
where it embarked with the Burnside expedition to North Carolina. It was placed in Foster's (ist) Brigade, and 
was engaged at Roanoke Island, its casualties in that action amounting to 6 killed and 49 wounded. Colonel 
Russell fell there, the first one of the Connecticut colonels killed in the war. .\t the battle of Kinston, N. C, — 
December 14, 1862 — the heaviest loss fell on the Tenth Connecticut, it having been entrusted with the most 
prominent part. It lost there 11 killed, and 39 wounded, out of 366 engaged ; five line officers were killed or 
mortally wounded. The remarkable gallantry of the regiment in this action was publicly acknowledged at its close 
by General Foster, in words of extreme praise. .\t that battle it was in Stevenson's (2d) Brigade, Foster's (ist) 
Division. In .April, 1864, the Tenth joined the .Army of the James, and participated in all its battles. It was 
engaged at Deep Bottom with a loss of 8 killed, 64 wounded, and 10 missing. Major Henry W. Camp, the 
" Knightly Soldier," was killed at Darbytown Road. The regiment was transferred in December, to Foster's (ist) 
Division, Twenty-fourth Corps, in which command it took the lead in the victorious but desperate assault on Fort 
Gregg, its losses there amounting to 1 1 killed and 79 wounded. Its flag was the first on the parapet, and the 
gallantry displayed there by the regiment was signally acknowledged by General Gibbon, the corps commander.

Notes. — The Fourteenth sustained the largest percentage of loss of any regiment from the State. It left 
Hartford August 25, 1862, and joined McClellan's .Army while on the march to Antietam, being assigned to 
Morris's (2d) Brigade, French's (3d) Division, Second Corps. Its losses at .Antietam were 20 killed, 88 wounded, 
and 48 missing; at Fredericksburg, 11 killed, 87 wounded, and 22 missing. The Fourteenth won special and 
merited honors at Gettysburg by a charge, on the forenoon of the third day, in which it drove the enemy's 
sharpshooters out of a barn situated between the lines. In the afternoon it assisted in the repulse of Pickett's 
charge, at which time the regiment captured five stands of colors. Its casualties at Gettysburg, were 10 killed, 
52 wounded, and 4 missing. In the affair at Morton's Ford — February 6. 1864 — the brunt of the fight fell on 
the Fourteenth ; it was ably handled there by Lieutenant-Colonel Samuel .A. Moore, and its casualties were 6 
killed, 90 wounded, and 19 missing. In March, 1864, it was transferred to Gibbon's (2d) Division, in which it 
remained without further change. In December, 1864, the regiment had become reduced to 180 men for duty; 
it was armed with Sharpe's rifles, and though small in numbers, was considered one of the best in the division. In 
the final battles of the war its percentage of loss was heavy in each action, although not numerically large.

Notes. — Organized at Portage, \. V., as the One Hundred and Thirtieth Infantry, and served as such at 
Suffolk, Va., and in Keyes's Peninsular campaign. On July 28, 1863, it was transferred to the mounted service 
under the designation of the First New York Dragoons. Colonel Gibbs, who belonged to the United States 
Cavalry ser\ice, drilled the men in their new duties, and on the night of October 17. 1863, the Dragoons made 
their first fight as such at Manassas Plains. The regiment started on Grant's campaign of 1864 with about 400 
carbines, and in the Wilderness (at Todd's Tavern), having dismounted, made a desperate fight, sustaining the 
heaviest loss of any cavalry regiment in any one action during the war ; its casualties in the Wilderness amounted 
to 20 killed, 36 wounded, and 35 missing. At Cold Harbor, the wearied troopers were sleeping on the ground, 
bridle-rein in hand, when they were awakened and ordered into the breastworks, which they gallantly defended 
while their band played gaily during the entire fight. ' At Trevilian Station, the remnant of the Dragoons were 
actively engaged, their casualties in that action amounting to 16 killed, 61 woundfd. and 8 missing. After fight- 
ing under Sheridan in his famous Shenandoah campaign, and sharing the glories of the final scenes at Appom- 
atto.x, the regiment was mustered out, June 30, 1865. The Dragoons ranked high in the estimation of its various 
brigade and division generals, as a regiment of superior discipline and efficiency. During all its mounted service 
the regiment was in the First Cavalry Division, .Army of the Potomac.

Notes. — Called the " Harris Light " in honor of the Honorable Ira Harris, of Albany, N. Y.,then United 
States Senator. The Second was ably officered and was one of the most famous of the New York cavalry regi- 
ments. Colonel Hull was killed at Cedar Creek, and Major O'Keefe fell in the final campaign. The Second 
was recruited from New York City, Long Island, Rensselaer and Washington counties, with two companies from 
Indiana, and two from Connecticut. The term of enlistment expired in September, 1864, when it returned 
home, leaving about 350 men in the field composed of recruits with unexpired terms, and veterans who had 
reenlisted. These men were organized into a battalion of four companies, and eight more companies composed 
of fresh recruits were added. These eight companies, which were raised in Cortland and Onondaga counties, 
were enlisted for one year only. While on Pope's campaign, Aug. 16-31, 1862, the Second lost 11 killed, 27 
wounded, and 45 captured or missing; total, 83. In the cavalry action at Aldie, Va., June 17, 1863, it lost 16 
killed, 19 wounded, and 15 missing; total, 50. In 1863 the regiment was in Gregg's (2d) Division, but in 
1864-65 it served in W'ilson's (3d) Division, — afterward Custer's.

Notes.— The above enrollment does not include the three new companies (K, L, and M) which joined in 
April, 1865, at the close of the war. The regiment was organized at Rochester in November, 1861, having been 
recniited in that city and in its vicinity. On arriving at Washington it was assigned to Banks's Corps, and was 
under fire, for the first time, at Winchester, May 25, 1862, where five dismounted companies were engaged. 
During the Antietam campaign it ser\'ed in Pleasanton's Cavalry Division, having previously distinguished itself by 
its escape from Harper's Ferry by passing through the besieging lines at night, and capturing some of the enemy's 
trains while on the way. It fought under Pleasanton in the famous cavalry battle at Beverly Ford, where it sus- 
tained the heaviest loss of any regiment on the field, its casualties amounting to 12 killed, 31 wounded, and 7 
missing. Colonel Davis was killed in a personal encounter in this action. At Gettysburg the Eighth fought in 
Gamble's Brigade, Buford's Division — the brigade which opened that historic battle. During Sheridan's raids 
and the Shenandoah campaign, in 1864, the regiment served in Wilson's (3d) Division. This division was com- 
laandcd by General Custer in the final campaign of 1865.

Chenango, Cortland, Erie, Fulton, Onondaga and Steuben. During the winter of 1861-2 the regiment was sta- 
tioned at Gettysburg. It was mounted during the summer of 1862, and commenced active service in the 
Manassas campaign of that year. It served in Bayard's Brigade at Fredericksburg, and participated in the 
Stoneman Raid of the Cbancellorsville campaign, at which time it was in the Second Cavalry Division (General 
D. M. Gregg's), and in which it sensed until the close of the war. General Crook commanded this division in 
the final campaign, 1865. The brigade was commanded by General J. I. Gregg, but in May, 1864, the regiment 
was transferred to the First Brigade,— General H. E. Davies, Jr. The regiment encountered its hardest fighting at 
Hawes's Shop (or Hanovertown) where it lost 13 killed, 27 wounded, and 2 missing; total, 42. .At Beverly 
Ford (or Brandy Station) it lost 3 killed, 18 wounded, and 6i captured or missing; at Middleburg, 3 killed, 10 
wounded, and 19 missing ; at Trevilian Station, 4 killed, and 16 wounded ; and at Boydton Road, 6 killed and 1 1 
wounded. Lieutenant-Colonel Frederick Tremain, a young and promising officer, was killed at Hatcher's Run.

visional Cavalry, The latter regiment was mustered out a month later.

Notes. — Recruited and organized at Albany as the One Hundred and Thirteenth New York Infantry. It 
moved to Washington, August 19, 1862, where it was immediately assigned to duty in the furts near the city. In 
December following it was changed to a heavy artillery command, and the two additional companies which became 
necessary by reason of the change were recruited, Company L joining the regiment in August, 1863, and Com- 
pany M in January, 1864. The Seventh remained on garrison duty in various forts near Washington until May 
15, 1864, when it was ordered to the front to serve as infantr)'. It marched out of Washington vnth 67 officers, 6 
non-commissioned staff, and 1,768 muskets, joining Grant's Army on May 17th, at Spotsylvania. It was assigned 
to Tyler's Di\'ision, but was transferred, a few days later, to Barlow's splendid di\-ision, and at one time — in 
September, 1864 — it was attached to the famous Irish Brigade. It served with Barlow until February 22, 
1865, ^'hen it was withdrawn from the front, and ordered to Baltimore, where it garrisoned Fort McHenry 
until after the close of the war. During its first hundred days of service in the field — from Spotsylvania to 
Ream's Station — the Seventh tost 1,254 in killed, wounded, and missing. The casualties at Cold Harbor, including 
the loss in the trenches, amounted to 45 killed, 259 wounded, and 1 14 missing; total, 418. Colonel Morris was 
killed there, the day after the assault, while passing along the trenches. He was an officer of the Regular .Army, 
and a son of the Captain Morris who was killed at Monterey.

Notes. — Organized at Lockport in .August, 1862, as the One Hundred and Twenty-ninth Infantry, the men 
coming from Niagara, Orleans, and Genesee counties. It was changed to heavy artillery in December, 1862, 
and two additional companies were added in January, 1864. The regiment performed garrison duty until May, 
1864, when it was sent with the other heavy artillery commands to the front to reinforce General Grant. It was 
in action for the first time at Spotsylvania, Va., May 19, 1864, where it lost 8 killed, 21 wounded, and 4 missing. 
At Cold Harbor the Eighth lost 80 killed, 339 wounded, and 86 missing ; total, 505 — it haring twelve large 
companies engaged there. In that battle Colonel Porter led the regiment in its grand charge upon the enemy's 
works, and fell dead in the extreme advance. Eight officers were killed in that action. 

In the assault on Petersburg the regiment made another gallant attack on the Confederate lines, in which Col. 
Bates and Major Blake fell mortally wounded. In the actions around Petersburg, June 15-23, 1864, the regiment lost 
42 killed, 26 1 wounded, and 5 missing ; total, 308. Though known as an artillery regiment, the men carried rifles, and 
were drilled as infantry. When they took the field, their full ranks — twelve companies of 150 men each — made 
them a very efficient organization, but their heavy losses in action soon reduced their long lines, until but few 
were left to witness the last fight at Appomattox. During all its ser\-ice in the field, in i864_'65, the regiment 
was attached to the Second Dinsion ( Gibbon's) of the Second Corps.

Notes.— Organized, originally, as the One Hundred and Thirty-eighth Infantry. It was recniited in Cayuga 
and ^Vayne counties, and left Auburn on September 12, 1862. While stationed in the fortifications about 
Washington it was changed to heavy artillery November 9, 1862, and two additional companies, L and M, were 
added. Company M was organized originally at Lockport, N. Y , in October, 1862, as the Twenty-second Light 
Battery, and was transferred to the Ninth in February. 1863 ; Company L was organized in 1863, and joined the 
regiment in December of that year. During its stay within the defences of Washington the Ninth built Fort 
Simmons, Mansfield, Bayard, Gaines, and Foote. On May 18, 1864, the regiment left Alexandria, Va., for the 
front, where it was assigned, soon after its arrival, to Colonel B. F. Smith's (3d) Brigade, Ricketts's (3d) Division, 
Sixth Corps. With the Sixth Corps it took part in the storming of the earthworks at Cold Harbor, its first 
experience under fire. Only two battalions were engaged there, the Third Battalion, under Major Snyder — Cos. 
G, I, L and F — having been ordered on detached service with the artillery brigade ; the other two battalions were 
armed and drilled as infantry. Loss at Cold Harbor, 16 killed, 126 wounded, and 6 missing ; total, 148. The 
Third Battalion did not rejoin the regiment until October 3, 1864, the other eight companies, in the meanwhile, 
having fought in the bloody battles of the Monocacy and the Opequon. At Cedar Creek the three battalions 
were again united, the gallant bearing of the regiment in that battle evoking special mention in the official report 
of the division-general. It lost in that action, 43 killed and 165 wounded ; total, 208. At the Opequon it lost 
h killed and 26 wounded.

Notes. — Organized at Rochester, N. V., the men having been recruited mostly in Monroe, Yates, St. Law- 
rence and Jefferson counties. Although the recruiting commenced in J luie, 1S63, the regiment did not complete 
its organization mitil Jainiary 4. 1S64. It garrisoned the forts in New York Harbor imtil .-\pri! 23, 1S64, when it 
was ordered to the front, and was assigned to the Ninth Corps, joining it at Warrenton, Va. On May 2, 1S64, it 
started for the Rapidan. The regiment was in line at the Wilderness, but was only partially engaged. It was 
actively engaged, however, the next week, at Spotsylvania (then in Stevenson's (ist) Division), and two weeks 
later suffered heavily at Cold Harbor, where it lost 15 killed, 43 wounded, and 16 missing. On June 17, 1864, 
the Fourteenth distinguished itself by its brilliant and successful charge on the works at Petersburg ; loss, 38 
killed, 152 wounded. 60 missing; total, 250. Major Job C. Hedges was killed in this charge while bravely 
leading his battalion. .At the Mine Explosion the regiment was selected to lead the assault at the Crater, and 
was the first to plant its colors on the enemy's works, where it cajitured a Confederate Hag. Its casualties in this 
action w-ere 10 killed, 44 wounded, and 7.S missing; total. 132. The i''ourteenth was on duty in the trenches, 
losing men daily in the ( onstant and deadly tiring which prevailed there. It also occupied Fort Stedman at the 
time of the Confederate sortie, March 25, 1865, and when surrounded there by the enemy, the men of the Four- 
teenth fought their way through the ()p])osing lines mitil they reached Fort Haskell, where, in com|)anv with the 
reinainder of the regiment which was on duty there, they succeeded in holding that important position. At the 
Weldon Railroad the regiment was in White's ( ist) Division, and sustained a loss of 6 killed, 40 wounded and 3 
missing j total, 49.

Notes. — Conspicuous, not only by its gay uniform, but by its precision of drill and steady bearing under 
fire, (ieneral Sykes once wrote that it was the best volunteer organization he ever saw. During all its active 
service the Fifth was in the Division of Regulars, and fully maintained its standing and right to be there. In 
addition to the great Generals who had ser\'ed successively as its Colonels, the regiment graduated other noted 
ones. Generals Kilpatrick, Davies, and Hamblin having served in its line. Kilpatrick was seriously wounded at 
Big Bethel while a captain in the Fifth. The regiment was recruited in New York City, and was one of the first 
to respond to the alarm of war. .At Gaines's Mill, under command of Lieutenant-Colonel Hiram Duryea, it faced 
a musketry fire which cut ilnwn one-third of its men. and won praises from all who witnessed its remarkable 
efficiency and drill while in the thickest of that fight ; it was m that battle that, after having received several 
deadly volleys, it paused at one time while still under fire to '-count off" anew, so that its movements might not 
be deranged by the absence of its fallen men. At Manassas it took 490 into action, of whom 1 1 7 were killed or 
mortally wounded. The Fifth was enlisted for two years ; but most of its recruits were enlisted for three years, 
and when the regiment was mustered out (May 14, 1863) these men were transferred to the One Hundred and 
Forty-sixth New York. After the muster-out of the Fifth, Colonel Winslow organized another regiment which 
bore the same number, and which rejoined the Fifth Corps, sharing the fortunes of (Grant's army from the 
North Anna to Appomattox. Colonel Winslow fell mortally wounded at Bethesda ( hurch, while in command 
of this regiment, and Colonel Frederick Winthrop, who succeeded him, was killed at Five Forks while in com- 
mand of the brigade.

Notes.— Four companies of this regiment were raised in Massachusetts, but the quota of that State being 
full, these companies joined the Fortieth. It sustained an unusual loss in battle, and in its number of killed stands 
next to the head in the list of New York infantry regiments. It carried, from first to last, a large number of names 
on its rolls, owing to accessions and transfers from other regiments, 'i'he Eighty-seventh New York was transferred 
entire in September, 1862 ; five companies nf three \ears' men from the Thirty-eighth New York were received 
in May, 1863 . also, the reenlisted men and recruits of the Thirty-seventh, and Seventy-fourth New York Volun-

and the brigade by (General Birney .\t Fair Oakb. umkr rommand of Colonel Egan, five companies numbering 
231 officers and men were hotly engaged, every man in the coUir-nuard falling, either killed or wounded. The 
original members of the regiment were mustered out in Jul\-. 1864. and the rei'nlisted veterans and recruits were 
formed into a battalion of six coinpanic-' which served through the war.

Notes. — This regiment was organized by the "Tammany General Committee," under the patronage of the 
Tammany Society of New York City. It was mustered in June 22, 1861, and on the i8th of July, following, 
went to Washington, 1,019 strong. Colonel Kennedy died on the 2 2d and was succeeded by Colonel Cogswell. 
The regiment was assigned, October 15, 1861, to Gorman's Brigade, Stone's Division, and was engaged at Ball's 
Bluff, its first e.xperience under fire, where three of the officers were killed. At Antietam — then in Dana's (3d) 
Brigade, Sedgwick's ( 2d ) Division, Second Corps — the Forty-second charged with Sedgwick into the woods around 
the Dunker Church, where it lost 181 out of the 345 who were engaged. At Gettysburg, under command of t:ol- 
onel Mallon ( Hall's Brigade, Gibbon's Division), the regiment took a conspicuous and meritorious part in the rep\ilse 
of Pickett's charge. Colonel Mallon was an officer of recognized merit and gallantry, and received frequent mention 
in the official reports of every action in which he was engaged. He was killed at Bristoe Station. During the 
Wilderness campaign the Fortv-second foiight in Webb's Brigade, (Gibbon's Division, and its depleted ranks were 
again thinned by the desperate fighting encountered there. The gallant old regiment was mustered out Jdly 13, 
1864, its term of enlistment having expired, and such of its members as had rei'nlisted, together with the recnnts, 
were transferred to the Eighty-second New York. During its entire service it fought in the Second Division of 
the .Second Corps.

Notes. — The Forty-third was a fighting regiment, and was known as such throughout the corps and at home. 
It was assigned to Hancock's Brigade, W. F. Smith's Division, and participated with that command in its brilliant 
manoeuvre at Williamsburg. It was selected as one of the five crack regiments to form the famous Light Division 
of the Sixth ( 'orps, — the division which took such a prominent part in the successful storming of Marye's Heights. 
Soon after this battle tlie Light Division was discontinued, and the Forty-third was placed in the Third Brigade 
(Second Division), in which it remained without further change. The three field officers. Col. Wilson, Lieut. -Col. 
Fryer, and Major Wallace, were killed at the Wilderness. .-Xt Spotsylvania the regiment, though thinned and shat- 
tered, was one of the twelve picked battalions which Upton led in his historic charge, in which the Forty-third with 
its usual dash captured some of the enemy's flags, Captain Burhans falling dead with two stands of colors in his 
hands. The Third Brigade — (ieneral Bidwell commanding — bore almost the entire brunt of the battle at Fort 
Stevens, Washington, where the Forty-third fought under the approving eye of the President, and helped to save 
the Capital from Early's invading army. Lieut. -Col. Visscher was killed in this action, and every regimental com- 
mandant in the brigade was killed or wounded.

Notes. — The enlisted men in this regiment were the finest of any in the service. They were recruited 
from every county in the State, in conformity to requirements calling for unmarried, able-bodied men, not over 
thirty years of age, not under five feet eight inches in height, and of good moral character. The men were of a 
high order of intelligence, and when the regiment was organized it was found that the average age was twenty-two, 
and the average height five feet ten and one-half inches. The men wore a zouave uniform during the first year 
of their service. .\t Hanover Court House, its first battle, the Forty-fourth made a gallant fight, losing 27 killed 
and 59 wounded ; at Gaines's Mill — Lieutenant-Colonel Rice commanding —it lost 5 killed, 22 wounded, and 
29 missing ; and at Malvern Hill, 1 1 killed, 84 wounded, and 4 missing, out of 225 who were engaged. The 
regiment was then in Butterfield's Brigade of Morell's (ist) Division. Two new companies (C and E) joined 
in October, 1862 (one of them composed of students from the State Normal School at Albany), and took the 
place of two companies which had been consolidated witli the others. At Gettysburg,— then in Vincent's Brig- 
ade, Barnes's Division, — the Forty-fourth was one of the first regiments to seize and hold Little Round Top, 
meeting its greatest loss there; casualties, 20 killed, 82 wounded, and 3 missing; total, iii. At Manassas,— 
Major Freeman Conner commanding,— the regiment lost 5 killed, 48 wounded, and 18 missing, out of 12 officers 
and 148 men inaction: at the Wilderness, it lost 4 killed and 63 wounded ; and at Spotsylvania, 8 killed, 48 
u-ounded, and 9 missmL;. Mustered out September 24. 1864.

Notes. — Organized and commanded by Rev. James H. Perry, D. D., a Methodist clergyman, who had been 
educated at West Point, and had distinguished himself in the Mexican War. He commanded the regiment until 
lune 18, 1862, when he died suddenly at Fort Pulaski. The Forty-eighth left Fort Hamilton, N. Y., on Septem. 
ber 15, 1 86 1, and after a brief stay in Washington and Annapolis sailed, October 21st, for Fort Monroe, where it 
joined General W. T. Sherman's Expedition to Hilton Head Shortly after the fall of Fort Pulaski, the Forty- 
eighth was assigned to garrison duty in the fort where it remained for one year. At Fort Wagner, in company 
with Strong's Brigade, the regiment participated in that memorable assault, and succeeded in entering one of the 
strongest bastions. They held it several hours, but for want of support had to abandon their costly prize after 
losing 54 killed. 112 wounded, and 76 missing; total, 242. On Febniary 20, 1864, the regiment fought at 
Olustee, Fla.. where it sustained a loss of 47 killed,* 163 wounded, and 34 captured, and then sailed for Virginia, 
where it joined the .\rmy ot the James in the campaign before Richmond and Petersburg. In this campaign it 
served in the Second Brigade (Barton's), Second Division (Turner's), Tenth Corps. While at Cold Harbor the 
division was attached, temporarily, to the Eighteenth Corps. At Fort Fisher the regiment was in Pennypacker's 
(3d) Brigade. .-Vmes's Division. The Forty-eighth lost 859 men. killed and wounded, during the terrible fight- 
ing of the last twenty inonths of its service, — a noble record.

Notes. — Organized at P>uffalo, September 18, 1861. The regiment arrived in Washington, September 21, 
1861, and was assigned soon after to Davidson's Brigade, W. F. Smith's Division. In March, 1862, this division 
was placed in Keyes's (Fourth) Corps and accompanied it to the Peninsula; but on May 18, 1862, the division 
was detached and used in forming the Sixth Corps, in which command (Third Brigade, Second Division) the 
regiment served until the end of the war. Although the regiment participated in all the battles of the Army of 
the Potomac in 1862 and 1863, its losses were comparatively small until 1864. when it encountered some hard 
fighting and severe losses. The Forty-ninth started on Grant's Virginia campaign, May 4, 1864, with 384 men, 
losing at the Wilderness, 29 killed, 54 wounded, and 6 missing, and at Spotsylvania, 24 killed, 89 wounded, an! 
18 missing. Among the killed in these battles were ten officers. At Spotsylvania the regiment behaved with 
especial gallantry, its percentage of loss in that battle being a remarkable one. Its term of service expired 
September i 7, 1864, while fighting in the Shenandoah Valley, and the remnant of the regiment went home. The 
recnlisted men and recruits with unexpired terms were left in the field and formed into a battalion of four com- 
panies which served through the war. At Cedar Creek this battalion sustained a loss of 8 killed and 30 wounded. 
The Forty-ninth suffered a severe and unusual loss in the number of its field officers killed in action. Colonel 
Bidwell, who had been brevetted General, was killed at Cedar Creek ; Major Ellis was mortally w.iunded at 
Spotsylvania (shot with a ramrod) ; Lieutenant-Colonel Johnson was killed at Fort Stevens, while in coraraand ; 
and Colonel Holt fell in the final and victorious assault at the fall of Petersburg.

Notes. — Recruited in New York City, and formed by uniting the " Scott Rifles," two companies, and the 
"Union Rifles," two companies, with the Shepard Rifles. It was mustered in by companies from July 27 to 
October 23, 1861. In January, 1862, it embarked at Annapolis on the Burnside Expedition, having been assigned 
to Reno's Brigade. At the battle of New Berne it encountered the brunt of the fighting, and sustained the 
severest loss of any regiment in that action. During its subsequent service it was in the Second Division which 
was commanded, successively, by Reno, Sturgis, and Potter. The Fifty-first distinguished itself particularly at 
.Antietam, where, under Colonel Potter, it supported the Fifty-first Pennsylvania, of the same brigade, in their 
desperate charge across the stone bridge, an action which forms one of the most brilliant episodes of the war. 
Following the fortunes of the Ninth Corps it served under Burnside on the Carolina coast, took part in Pope's 
Virginia campaign, fought under McClellan in Maryland, was present at the Siege of Vicksburg, participated in 
the fighting in East Tennessee, in the gallant defense of Knoxville, and then returned to Virginia in time to 
take part in Grant's campaigns of 1864 and the final triumphs of the following year. The regiment reinlisted 
in December, 1863, and in thefollowing winter was recruited anew nearly to its maximum. During the campaigns 
of 1862-63 the regiment ser\'ed in Ferrero's Brigade; in the battles of 1S64-65 it was in Curtin's (ist) Brigade, 
Potter's (2d) Division. The graves of the Fifty-first are scattered far and wide. Few regiments saw a more 
active senice, and none left a more honorable recorii.

Notes. — Recruited in New York City, and in the counties of |etferson, Lewis, Putnam, and Westchester. 
It was organized at Green Point (East New York) in October, 1861, leaving the State on the 19th of November,

Notes. — The Sixty-first had the good fortune and honor to be commanded by men who proved to be 
among the ablest soldiers of the war. They made brilliant records as colonels of this regiment, and, being pro- 
moted, achieved a national reputation as division generals. The Sixty-first saw an unusual amount of active 
service and hard fighting. .At Fair Oaks, under command of Colonel Barlow, they lost no killed and wounded, 
out of 432 who were in the action ; Lieutenant-Colonel W. C. Masset, and five of the color-guard were killed in 
this fight. .At Antietam the regiment captured two stands of colors, and at Fredericksburg, under Colonel Miles, 
it sustained a severe loss in proportion to its numbers, the colonel being severely wounded there. 
The regiment was recruited from various counties in the State, one company being composed of 
students from Madison University. It was organized at New York City, from August 22d to October 26, 1861. 
It reenlisted at the end of its three years' term, and served until July, 1865. It served through the war in the 
First Brigade, First Division, Second Corps. This division was commanded successively by Generals Richardson 
(killed at .Antietam), Hancock, Caldwell, Barlow and Miles.

Notes. — Second Reginit-nt, Irish Brigade. Like the oiWr regiments in that brigatle, the Sixty-third carried 
a green flag. On it was the name of the State with the regimental volunteer number. The flag instead of being 
blue like the State flags in other brigades, was a deep rich green, and on it was embroidered an Irish harp, 
a sunburst, and a wreath of shamrock. Each regiment of the brigade carried, also, the National colors- — -elegant 
silken flags which displayed the Stars and Stripes. At .-\ntietam the regiment lost six officers killed near "Bloody 
Lane," and sixteen men were killed or wounded in that battle while carrying the colors ; its total loss being 202 
killed or wounded out of 341 who entered the field. The brigade carried the position at Antietam in the face 
of a severe fire ; Meagher's line was then relieved by Caldwell's fine brigade, which advanced through them by 
breaking into columns of companies to the front, while Meagher's men retired by the right of companies to the 
rear, these two noted brigades executing the manoeuvre as steadily as if on parade. The regiment having rein- 
listed, fought in all the battles of Grant's Virginia campaign, sustaining further terrible losses in men and officers, 
the latter including Major Thomas Touley, a gallant and intrepid soldier who fell mortally wounded at the Wilder- 
ness. With the other regiments of the Irish Brigade, it served throughout the war in the Second Brigade, First 
Division, Second Corps.

Notes. — Formerly the Si.Kty-fourth Militia, but reorganized as a volunteer command at Elmira in the autumn 
of 1861. The regiment arrived at ^\'ashington. December 1 1, 1 861, and went into camp near the capitol. It 
commenced active service in Virginia, January 2, 1862, performing picket duty, with an occasional recon- 
noissance, until April 5. 1862, when it sailed for the Peninsula with General McClellan's Army. It served there 
in Richardson's Division' — afterwards Hancock's — remaining in that division (ist Division, 2d A. C.) until the 
end of the war. The Sixty-fourth, under Colonel Bingham, distinguished itself at Chancellorsville, where, in 
company with four other regiments, it held successfully an advanced skirmish-line against the persistent attack of 
a large force of the enemy. This line was in charge of Colonel Nelson .A. Miles of the Sixty-first New York, 
and the brilliancy of the affair became a matter of history. The regiment fought at Gettysburg in Caldwell's 
Division (same division), and lost there 98 o\it of the 20 officers and 1S5 men who marched with the colors on 
that field.

Notes. — The Sixty-ninth was a New York City regiment belongmg to the State Militia, and volunteered 
promptly at the outbreak of the war. It fought at First Bull Run, where Colonel Corcoran, its commander, was 
wounded and captured, and Lieutenant-Colonel Haggerty was killed. The regiment volunteered at first for three 
months only, the same as the other militia troops. Upon its return it formed the nucleus for another regiment 
bearing the same number, commanded by Colonel Meagher, who had been authorized by the War Department 
to raise a brigade. Hence the famous Irish Brigade, whose gallantry on so many fields attested anew the fidelity 
and courage of the Irish soldier. .At .Antietam the regiment was in Richardson's Division, and fought at the 
Bloody Lane. 'I'here eight color-bearers were successively shot down, but the brigade carried the position. .At 
Fredericksburg the color-sergeant of the Sixty-ninth was found dead, with his flag concealed and wrapped around 
his body, a bullet having pierced the flag and his heart. In that battle the regiment lost i 6 officers and 112 men 
killed and wounded, out of 18 officers and 210 men engaged.* The Sixty-ninth lost the most men in action, 
killed and wounded, of any infantry regiment from the State of New York. 

'Official Records, Vol xxi ; but Captain Saunders, in his official report, states this los.s at 16 officers and IliO men.

Notes.— Recruited in New York City, and musterd into service June 20, 1861, as the First Regiment, Sickles's 
Brigade. It left the brigade camp on Staten Island, July 23, 1S61, and was stationed at Washington a few weeks, 
after which it performed guard duty along the Maryland side of the Lower Potomac. During the Peninsular 
f ampaignthe Excelsior Brigade was in Hooker's Division, upon which fell the brunt of the batde at Williamsburg, 
the Seventieth, under Colonel Dwight, being in the thickest of the fighting. The regiment numbered there, 
according to the official report, about 700 men, and its casualty list shows a loss of nearly one-half. One more 
such fight would have ended its existence. Of 33 officers, in that battle, seven were killed and twenty-two 
wounded. Colonel Farnum commanded the regiment at (Jettysburg, where it fought in Humphreys's Division, on 
the Emmettsburg Road in the battle of the second day. and sustained a severe loss before it yielded this advanced 
position and retired to the second line. During the pursuit of Lee, the Excelsior Brigade, on July 23, 1863, 
attacked the Confederate rear-guard at Wapping Heights, Va., a fight in which the main loss fell on the Seven- 
tieth. Upon the transfer of the Third Corps to the Second, the brigade, under command of Colonel W. R. 
Brewster, was assigned to Mott's Division, and from that time fought with the Second Corps until the expiration 
of its term of service. It was inustered out July i, 1S64, and the recruits transferred to the Eighty-sixth New 
York,

Notes. — Recruited principally iu New York city and Chautauqua inunty, Company B coming from James- 
town, N. v., and Companies D and K from Dunkirk, N. Y. A legimeiUal organization was effected at Staten 
Island, where the other regiments of Sickles's lirigade were forming, and in June, i86i, the command left for 
Washington. The brigade was attached to Hooker's Division an<l ordered on dtity along the Lower Potoinac, 
where it remained until it joined C.eneral Met lellan's army in 1X62. Colonel Taylor commanded the brigade at 
Wilhamsbnrg, where it received the iirinripal for. e of the enemy's attai k. 'i'he Seventy-second held an 
advanced jiosition there, and lost 59 killed, 90 wounded, and 46 missing, the most of the latter being either 
killed or wotmded. The regiment was proininently engaged at Malvern Hill, its losses in that action amounting 
to 14 killed and 47 wounded, ottt of about 300 who were in the engageinent. Colonel Stevens and four other 
officers were killed at Chancellorsville, the regiment losing in that battle, 1 1 killed, 31 wounded, and 59 missing ; 
total, 101. .\t Cettysburg, the Excelsior Brigade participated in General Sickles's grand battle, known as the 
second day's fight, the thinned ranks of the Seventy-second being again sadly depleted by the enemy's fire. Its 
casualties on that field were 7 killed, 79 wounded, and 28 missing; total, i 14. The Excelsior Brigade was com 
manded, first by General Sickles, and then by Colonel Taylor, who was siuceeiled by Culonel W. R. Brewster. 
The division commanders were Hooker, Berry and Humphreys. V]n)n the transfer of the Third Corps to the

Notes. — Organized as the Second Fire Zouaves, having been largely recruited from the New York Fire 
Department. It joined .Sickles's Brigade, and arrived at Washington, 897 strong, in .August, 1861. The brigade 
was stationed at Camp McClellan, below Washington, at Good Hope, Md., and while there was assigned to 
Hooker's Division, which afterwards became famous by its gallant action at Williamsburg. This one division, also, 
fought the battle of Bristoe Station, Va., .August 27, 1862 —one of the preliminary actions at Manassas — the 
brunt of the fight falling on the "Excelsior" Brigade, which successfully carried a strong position of the Confeder- 
ates, but with a loss of forty per cent. The Seventy-third had only 8 officers and 99 men present there ; three 
of these officers were killed. The One Hundred and Sixty-third New York was disbanded January 20, 1S63, and 
the men transferred to the Fourth Excelsior. By this arrangement the depleted ranks of the regiment received 
a nominal accession of 365 men, of whom about 250 reported for duty. Colonel Brewster commanded the 
■• Excelsior " Brigade at Gettysburg and during all its subsequent service in the field, leaving Colonel Burns in com- 
mand of the regiment both in battle and camp. During the campaigns of 1864-5 '' fought in Birney's (3d) 
Division of the Second Corps, the Third Corps having been discontinued in April, 1864, and transferred to 
(he Second.

^cfXYS,. — Organi/eil at New York in June, 1S61. Preparaloiy to its (if|.arture for the field it was encamped 
on Staten Island with other regiments of Sickles's Brigade. In August. iSoi, the comm'and left New York for 
Washington, and was stationed near there several weeks. The brigade, having been assigned to Hooker's Division, 
was ordered too<xupy the line of the Lower Potomac in Maryland, where it patrolled the river for twenty miles. 
In Novembei-. iS6i.part of the regiment crossed the river with Colonel Graham on an e.\pedition to Mathias 
Point, Va. In A]iiil. 1S62. the brigade left its winter-quarters in Maryland to join General McClellan's advance 
up the Peninsula. The Si'ventv-fom-th distinguished itself at Williamsburg, where the brigade fought in an almttis 
of felled timber, holding its [loMtion suecessfuUy against the ni:iin force of the enemy. The division w:is com 
manded at Chancellorsville by (leiieial Berry, who was killed there. The Seventy-fourth receive.! hut few 
recruits, and when it marched to Gettysburg its thimied ranks showed the effects of bullets and disease. Still it 
faced the hottest of the musketry on that historic field, with the conseijuent heavy percentage of loss. The Thinl 
Corps was transferred to the Second in March, 1S64, and with it the Kxcelsior Brigade under Colonel Brewster. 
The brigade imder this arr.ingement became the Second llriga.le of Mott's Division. The Seventy-fourth was

NoTiiS. — The men of this regiment were proud of the suggestive numerals in their regimental title, and by 
theii gallantry and patriotism pioved themselves worthy of the historic figures emblazoned on their colors. The 
Seventy-sixth was recruited in Cortland and Otsego counties in 1861, and arrived at Washington, February i, 
1862. It was assigned soon after to Doubleday's Brigade, Hatch's Division. Its first battle was at Manassas, 
where the regiment under command of Colonel Wainwright was engaged at Warrenton Springs, Gainesville, and 
the other engagements incidental to the main one, sustaining a loss of 1 1 killed, 88 wounded, and 48 missing ; 
total, 147. The Seventy-sixth met its greatest loss atGettysburg. In the first day's battle on that field, it took 27 
officers and 348 men into the fight, and in half an hour lost 32 killed, 132 wounded, and 70 missing; total, 234. 
Major A. J. Grover, who was in command of the regiment at Gettysburg, was among the killed. In March, 1S64, 
the Seventy-sixth was assigned to Rice's Brigade, Wadsworth's Division, Fifth Corps. In the Wilderness, the 
regiment lost two color-bearers killed, and three wounded, its casualties in that battle amounting to 27 killed, 69 
wounded, and 186 captured or missing; total, 282. General Rice, the brigade commander, was mortally 
wounded at Spotsylvania while leading the Seventy-sixth. A surgeon a.sked the dying general if he could place 
him in an easier position. Rice replied : " Yes, turn me so that I may die with my face to the enemy." The 
regiment was mustered out in January, 1865, its term of enlistment having expired. The reenlisted men and 
recruits were transferred to the One Hundred and Forty-seventii New York.

Notes. — Composed mostly of Scotchmen, uniformed in their national costume, the officers wearing kilts 
and the men wearing pantaloons of the Cameron tartan. .Vfter active service commenced, this dress was laid 
aside and the United States service \uiiform was substituted. The men of the Seventy-ninth fully sustained the 
honor and military reputation uf their native land, and fought for the government of their adoption as gallantly as 
ever Scotchmen fought on native soil or on foreign fields. I'revious to the war this regiment had belonged 
to the State National Guard, and at the outbreak of hostilities it was among the first to tender its services. It 
marched to First Bull Run. where it sustained one of the heaviest losses on that field, its casualties amounting to 
32 killed, 51 wounded, 115 missing or captured. Colonel Cameron, brother of the Secretary of War, was killed 
there while in command of the regiment. .\t the battle of James Island (Secessionville), it was in Stevens's 
Division, and lost 1 10 men there out of 474 engaged. In .\ugust, 1862, the gallant regiment fought again on the 
Manassas Plains, and in the actions at Second Bull Run and Chantilly lost 9 killed, 79 wounded, and 17 missing; 
total, 105. General Stevens, formerly Colonel of the Higlanders, was killed at Chantilly, where, after si.x color- 
bearers of the Seventy-ninth had fallen, the General seized the flag and shouting, '• Highlanders '. My Highland- 
ers ! Follow your (ieneral," led the charge and fell dead amid the cheers of victory with the color-staff grasped 
firmly in his hand.f The regiment's term of enlistment exjjired May 13, 1864, the order for muster-out reach- 
ing the men while they stood in line on the bloody field of Spotsylvania. The recruits were organized into a 
battalion which served through the war, doing provost-duty at Corps headquarters.

Notes. — This regiment was fnini I'l.ster tounty, and was better known as the Twentieth, il having served in 
the State Militia for several years under that number. Although known officially as tiie EightiLth Infantry, it 
never accepted that designation, but adhered faithfully to its old militia number. Colonel Pratt, who commanded 
it before the war also, was a gentleman of wealth, education, and a member of the State Senate. He was killed 
at Manassas. At that battle the regiment was in Patrick's Brigade, Hatch's Division, and lost 32 killed, 165 
wounded, and 82 missing; total, 279. At Antietam its casualties were 6 killed, 40 wounded, and 8 missing; 
total, 54. It distinguished itself particularly at CJettysburg by the prominent part which it took in the repulse of 
Pickett's charge. The regiment was then in Rowley's (ist) Brigade, Doubleday's Division ; but during the battle 
of the third day, a part of the brigade, including the Twentieth, was under the command of Colonel Gates ; its 
loss at Gettysburg was 35 killed, iii wounded, and 24 missing; total, 170. In July, 1S63, the regiment was 
detached from its corps and ordered to report to General Patrick, the Provost Marshal of the army, for duty in 
his department. It remained on provost-duty at General Headquatters until the final assault on Petersburg, when 
it joined the assaulting column and lost several in killed and wo\inded. The Twentieth served first as a three 
months' regiment, leaving Kingston, April 28, 1861, and was stationed at Annapolis Junction, and at Baltimore. 
It reorganized under a three years' enlistment, and left the State again, October 25, 1861. After a short stay at 
Washington, it crossed into Virginia, November 7, 1861, and joined Wailsworth's Brigade, going into winter 
quarters at Upton's Hill. The regiment was continued in service until January 29, 1866,

Notes. — Recruite<l principally at Oswego, in the tall of 1S61. It left Oswego January 20, 1862, with 750 
men, and at Albany received 250 more, who had been recruited in Oneida county. It left the State in February, 
1862, and upon its arrival at Washington was assigned to Palmer's Brigade, Casey's Division, Fourth Cor[)s. The 
regiment fought well at Fair Oaks, under command of Lieutenant-Colonel DeForest, who was wounded, 
and Major McAmbly, who was killed there. Upon the withdrawal of the Army from the Peninsula, the Eighty- 
first was retained at Yorktown with General Keyes's command. In December, 1862, the regiment was ordered 
to join General booster's troops in North Carolina, where it remained on duty in the vicinity of Beaufort, S. C, 
and Morehead, N. C, for several months. In November, 1S63, it was stationed on outpost dtity along the Dismal 
Swamp Canal, Va. 

Having reOnlisted, the regiment went home on a thirty ilays' furlough, in March, 1864, and recruited its ranks 
preparatory to the spring campaign. It returned to Yorktown where it was ordered to join the Eighteenth Corps, 
(jcneral Wm, F. Smith commanding, and was placed in Marston's ( ist) Brigade, Brooks's (ist) Division. Under 
l.ieutenant-Colonel Raulston, the Eighty-first distinguished itself in the assault on Cold Harbor, where it led the 
brigade in the charge, but with a loss of half its number. In this battle it sustained the heaviest loss of any 
infantry regiment on the field. Larger losses occurred in some of the heavy artillery regiments engaged there, 
but they had three times as many men in line. 

In July, 1864, General Stannard succeeded to the command of the First Division and led it in its victorious 
assault on Fort Harrison (Chaffin's Farm). L'pon the discontinuance of the Eighteenth Corps the regiment 
was transferred to Ripley's Brigade, Devens's Division of the newly-formed Twenty-fourth Corps. Colonel 
Raulston commanded the brigade at the battle on the Darbytown Road and, also, at other times and places. 
The regiment was mustered out .August 3r, 1865.

Notes. — The Second Militia commenced recruiting for the war, April 15, 1861, and arrived at Washington, 
May 21, 1861. The regiment, having enlisted for three years, was subsequently designated as the Eighty-second 
Volunteers. It was stationed near the Capital until July 3d, when it crossed into Virginia, having been assigned to 
Schenck's Brigade of Tyler's Division, in which command it fought at First Bull Run. On August 5, 1861, the 
regiment was ordered to join Gorman's Brigade, Stone's Division, Second Corps, in which command (1st Brigade, 
2d Division, 2d A. C.) it remained without further change during its subsequent three years of service. At 
Antietam this division, under Sedgwick, fought at the Dunker Church, where it encountered an unusually severe 
fire. The Eighty-second took 339 men into that fight, of whom 12S fell under the terrible musketry, while the 
division sustained one of the largest losses encountered by any division in any one battle during the war. 

The regiment was actively engaged at Gettysburg, and. in the battle of the second and third days, lost 192 
killed or wounded out of the 365 who entered that fight. Colonel Huston was killed there, and the brigade 
(Harrow's) lost over si.xty percent, of its men. General Webb commanded the brigade during the Wilderness 
campaign, in which the gallant old regiment was under fire almost daily until June 25, 1864, when its term of 
enlistment expired. It then returned home, and the recruits and reinlisted men left in the field were transferred 
to the Fifty-ninth New York.

Notes. — Originally the Ninth New York State Militia, of New York City. It volunteered as a regiment, and 
left New York May 27, 1861. During the first year of the war it served in Banks's Division, doing duty in Mary- 
land, and along the Potomac, and in the vicinity of Harper's Ferry. Although known officially as the Eighty- 
third Volunteers, it i)referred its old militia number, and always alluded to itself as the "Ninth." During Pope's 
campaign, it served in Hartsuffs (3d) Brigade, Ricketts's (2d) Division, McDowell's Corps, and was hotly 
engaged at Manassas. It accompanied the First Corps through all the hard fighting of McClellan's Maryland 
campaign, and then — in Taylor's Brigade, Gibbon's Division — fought at Fredericksburg, where it suffered its 
severest loss. Colonel Hendrickson, who commanded the regiment in this battle, was severely wounded, losing 
a leg. He was succeeded by Colonel Moesch, who was killed at the Wilderness while leading his men into action. 
The regiment, though small in numbers, distinguished itself particularly in the fi'st day's battle at Gettysburg by 
the promient part wiiich it took in the capture of a ])art of Iverson's North Carolina Brigade, an affair which 
forms one of the interesting features in the history of that greatest of battles. In March, 1864, the First Corps was 
merged into the Fifth and was discontinued, but the " Ninth " still remained in Baxter's Brigade of Robinson's 
Division. Both Baxter and Robinson were severely wounded in the spring campaign, and were obliged to 
relinquish their commands. The ranks of the Ninth were again badly cut up in the fighting at Spotsylvania, but 
on June -th the welcome orders to start for home were received. Only 107 officers and men were left to start on 
the homeward march.

Notes. — Known also as the Brooklyn Zouaves or '• Red Legs." Although the regiment had existed before 
the war as the Fourteenth of the State Militia or National Guard, it became the Eighty-fourth of the line in the 
volunteer service. It was ready for the field on .-Vpril 18, 1861, but marching orders were not received until May 
I Sth, when it proceeded to Washington. Its volunteer number was furnished later, but it was not accepted; 
hence, it was known by both numbers. The regiment fought at First Bull Run, and, a year later, under Colonel 
Fowler, sustained another and a heavy loss on the same field. At Antietam, under command of Major DeBevoise, 
it entered the fight with about one hundred men, and " the gallant regiment " was awarded " fresh laurels " there, 
in the official report of General Hatch, the division general. At the first day's battle at Gettysburg, the Four- 
teenth attained a place in history by its efficiency under fire, the ability of its colonel, and its important service 
rendered there ; its tactical manoeuvres and prompt action on that field are mentioned in every account of that battle. 

The regiment was one of the very first to open fire in that engagement, and, in connection with the Ninety- 
fifth New York and Sixth Wisconsin — forming a demi-brigade under command of Fowler — distinguished itstll 
at the railroad cut in the capture of Davis's Mississippi Brigade. 

The regiment was favorably known in winter-quarters as well as on the field ; and while encamped near Culpeper 
in 1864-5, the " Brooklyn Boys " gave a series of Minstrel Entertainments, which were enjoyed and patronized by 
the Corps, from headquarters to the wagon train. The " Fourteenth " fought in the Wilderness Campaign, 
many of the men falling at Spotsylvania while expecting hourly the orders to march homeward for muster-out. 
On May 22, 1864, the welcome order was received, and the bronzed and battle-scarred battalion returned to 
Brooklyn, where it was greeted with the grandest ovation of the war.

Notes. — Organized in October, 1S61, at Elraira, N. V., from companies recruited principally in Steuben 
county, with some from Chemung and Onondaga. After leaving Elmira the regiment was stationed at Washing- 
ton, where it performed guard duty for several months. It took the field in August, 1862, — in Piatt's Brigade 
— and was engaged at Manassas, where it lost 13 killed, 67 wounded, and 38 missing. .At Fredericksburg, then 
in Whipple's Division, Third Corps, it was slightly engaged, a few men being wounded there ; but at Chancellors- 
ville the Eighty-sixth was in the thickest of the fight ; in that battle the intrepid Lieutenant-Colonel Chapin was 
killed, and Major Higgins was seriously wounded. With sadly diminished ranks the men marched on the 
field at Gettysburg, where they again faced the enemy's rifles until one-third of their number had fallen ; its loss 
there was 1 1 killed, 5 i wounded, and 4 missing. The regiment rei'iilisted, and in January, 1S64, went home on 
the customary veterans' furlough. Having been transferred to the Second Corps, it fought imder Hancock in the 
campaigns of 1864. It sustained itself gallantly in a sharp fight at the Po River, losing 96 men there, and suf- 
fering the severest percentage of loss of any regiment in that action. It lost 201 men during the first three weeks 
of the Wilderness campaign — May 6th to the 25th. Its casualties during the siege of Petersburg were also 
very large ; Lieutenant-Colonel Stafford, a brave and popular officer was killed there. The Eighty-sixth fairly 
earned its rej)utation as " the fighting regiment of the Southern Tier."

Notes. — Third regiment, Irish Brigade ; a brigade which never lost a flag, although it captured over twenty 
stands of colors from the enemy. At Fredericksburg the Eighty-eighth, in company with the brigade, partici- 
pated in the gallant but unsuccessful assault on Marye's Heights. The brigade was then commanded by General 
Meagher, and the division by General Hancock. While in line at Fredericksburg awaiting the order for the assault, 
little sprigs of green were distributed among the men, every officer and man in the brigade, including Meagher 
and his staff, placing one in his cap. .After the assault had failed, a long, well-aligned row of dead lay on the crest 
of the hill within a few yards of the Confederate breastworks, and by each pale dead face was a sprig of Irish 
green. The brigade became so reduced by losses that the Si.xty-third, Sixty-ninth, and Eighty-eighili were, 
shortly before Gettysburg, consolidated into two companies each. .At that battle, the brigade halted for a feu- 
moments, just as it neared the " wheatfield," and knelt with uncovered heads while Father Corby, the Chaplain of 
the Eighty-eighth, gave them his benediction ; the men, rising to their feet, went into action immediately. 
Colonel Kelly, who commanded the brigade at Gettysburg, was afterwards killed in the assault on Petersburg, 
where he was again in command of the brigade. Major William Horgan fell at Federick.sburg in the desperate 
assault on Marye's Heights.

Notes. — Organized at .Albany in January, 1862. from companies recruited ]irincipaily in Washington county. 
It was formed by uniting four companies of sharpshooters, which had been recruited through the efforts of Lieu- 
tenant-Colonel B. C. Butler, with companies formed under the superintendence of Colonel Crocker. The regi- 
ment left Albany on the 14th of February, 1S62, with 998 rank ami file, going to New York, where it encamped 
on Riker's Island until March 7th, when it went to Washington. Ujion its arrival there it was attached to 
Palmer's Brigade of Casey's Division, and on March 30, 1862 embarked at .•Xlexandria for the Peninsula campaign. 
The Ninety-third was detailed, May 21, 1862, as a guard at (leneral Headquarters, and was retained on that duty 
successively by Generals Burnside, Hoaker and Meade. The regiment was among the first to reenlist, going 
home in January, 1864, on the usual thirty days' furlough allowed to veteran or rei'nlisteil regiments. After nearly 
two years' service at Army Headquarters, it was ordered on April 19, 1864, to report to General Birney's Division for 
duty, where it was assigned to Hays's (2d) Brigade. Under command of Colonel Oocker, the regiment earned new 
laurels at the Wilderness, in which it lost 17 officers and 243 men killed and wounded, out of 433 who were 
engaged, its gallantry in battle eliciting the hearty thanks of its division commander. The Ninety-third was a 
great favorite at headquarters on account of its superior discipline, drill, and general efficiency. Having reenlisted 
at the expiration of its tlirec years' term, it preserved its organization through the war, and was nuistered out 
June 29, 1865.

NoiKs. — Known also as the Tliird Oneida, being composed almost wholly of men from Oneida and Herki- 
mer counties. It was mustered in at P.oonville, N. V., on February 19, 1862, leaving that place on March 12th. 
It arrived at the National Capital on the 20th, where it went into camp at Fort Corcoran. In April, 1862, it was 
assigned to Dury^e's Brigade, and in May took the field with Ricketts's Division of McDowell's Corps. The 
Ninety-seventh was under fire at Cedar Mountain and at Rappahannock, losing a few wounded men in those en- 
gagements ; but at Manassas, under command of Lieutenant-Colonel Spofford, it was actively engaged, losing 7 
killed, 42 wounded, and 62 captured or missing ; total, in. The regiment suffered its severest loss at Antietam, 
where it was commanded by Major Northrup, its casualties in that action amounting to 24 killed, 74 wounded, 
and 9 missing; total, 107. The Ninety-seventh — then in Robinson's Division, Baxter's Brigade — made a 
gallant and successful charge at Gettysburg, capturing the colors of the Twentieth North Carolina and 3S2 men. 
Its loss in that battle was 12 killed, 36 wounded, and 78 missing or captured. The regiment was transferred to 
the Fifth Corps in March, 1864, and served afterwards in that corps until the end of the war. It was hotly 
engaged at the battle of the Wilderness, in which it lost i 5 killed, 7 1 wounded, and 13 missing ; and at Spotsylvania, 
where it lost 6 killed, 67 wounded, and 2 missing. In its various battles two color-bearers were killed and three 
wounded, while twenty more were killed or wounded in the color-guard. The Ninety-seventh served in the 
Second Division (First Corps), known successively as Ricketts's, Gibbon's, Robinson's, and Crawford's (5th A. C).

Notes. — The One Hundredth was recruited in Buffalo, and on March 7, 1862, started from there, 960 
strong, arriving at Washington March 12th. It embarked on March 21st for Fort Monroe, where it joined 
General McClellan's .'\rmy, having been assigned to Naglee's (ist) Brigade, Casey's (2d) Division, Fourth Corps. 
Colonel Brown was killed at Fair Oaks, after which Colonel George B. Dandy, of the Regular .Army, was assigned 
to the command of the regiment. 

The One Hundredth was present at all the operations in Ch Weston Harbor in June, i S63, and, under com- 
mand of Colonel Dandy, shared in the desperate assault on Fort Wagner. In this action the regiment behaved 
with signal gallantry, and although the attack was unsuccessful, the flng of the One Hundredth — the one pre- 
sented by the Board of Trade, Buffalo — was planted on the fort, the daring color-sergeant falling dead beside it. 
In May, 1S64 — then in Plaisted's (3d) Brigade, Terry's ( ist) Division, Tenth Corps — the regiment sailed up 
the James River with Butler's .Army, and was subsequently engaged in all its battles. In December, 1S64 the 
Tenth Corps was discontinued, and the regiment became a part of Plaisted's (3d) Brigade, Foster's (ist) Division, 
Twenty-fourth Corps. .\t the Fall of Petersburg, .April 2, 1865, it made a gallant and successful assault on Fort 
Gregg, in which Major James H. Dandy, an able and meritorious officer, was killed. In July, 1S65, the regi- 
ment was consolidated with the One Hundred and Forty-eighth and One Hundred ami Fifty-oighth New York 
Volunteers, and on .August 28th, following, was mustered out of .service.

Notes. — The One Hundred and Si.xth was a St. Lawrence county regiment, organized at Ogdensburg, 
N. Y. It was mustered into the United States service on August 27, 1862, tor three years. In September, 1862, 
it was ordered to New Creek, \V. Va. Companies I) and F were captured, April 29, 1863, at Fairmont, W. Va., 
where they defended a railroad bridge for several hours against a large force of Confederates. The captured 
men were immediately released on parole. The regiment left North Mountain, June 13, 1863, and, with the 
other troops in that vicinity, retired before the advance of Lee's army. It joined the Army of the Potomac, 
July 10, 1863, while near Frederick, Md., and with other new material was organized as the Third Division 
(Carr's) of the Third Corps. This division was transferred, in March, 1S64, to the Sixth Corps, and its com- 
mand given to General Ricketts. 

While in the Sixth Corps the regiment saw hard service and almo.st c(.intinuous fighting. At Cold Harbor it 
lost 23 killed, 88 wounded, and 23 missing, — Lieutenant-Colonel Charles Townsend and three other officers 
being among the killed. The Corps was ordered soon after to Maryland, where, at the battle of Monocacy, the 
regiment sustained another severe loss. It was actively engaged in the Shenandoah Valley, in all the battles of 
the Corps, and then, returning to Petersburg, participated in the final campaign. .\t S])otsylvania the casualties 
in the regiment aggregated 6 killed and 32 wounded ; at the Opequon, 6 killed, 45 wounded, and 3 missing; and 
at Cedar Creek, 8 killed and 45 wounded. General Ricketts was wounded at Cedar Creek, after which the

Notes. — Organized at Binghaniton, N. W. and mustered into the United States service on .August 28, 1862. 
The companies were raised in the Twenty-fourth Senatorial District — Broome, Tompkins and Tioga counties. 
The regiment left Binghamton promptly, proceeding to Annapolis Junction, Md., where it was placed on guard- 
duty along the line of railroad to Washington, a few of the companies being stationed at Laurel, Md. It 
remained there the rest of the year and during all of 1863. In the spring of 1864, the regiment was ordered to 
join the Ninth Corps, then assemliling at .Annapolis, and it accordingly took the field in the ranks of that battle- 
tried command. It was assigned to Hartranffs (1st) Brigade, Willcox's (3d) Division — afterward's Harriman's 
Brigade of Willcox's (1st) Division. Colonel Tracy resigned May 20, 1864, and Colonel Catlin, a gallant and 
meritorious officer, succeeded to the command. The corps left Annapolis, April 23, 1864, and crossing the Rapi- 
dan on May 5th, the One Hundred and Ninth was engaged the next day at the V\'ilderness, in its first battle, 
where it lost 1 i killed, 64 wo\inded, ami 1 missing. In the charge of the Ninth Cori)s at Spotsylvania, the regi- 
ment lost 25 killed, 86 wounded, and 29 missing; in the assault on Petersburg, June 17. 1864, 26 killed, 81 
wounded, and 20 missing ; at the Mine Explosion, July 30, 1864, 1 1 killed, 24 wounded, and 1 S missing ; and 
at the Weldon Railroad, August 19, 1864, 7 killed, 12 wounded, and i missing. The regiment was under fire 
at the battle on the Boydton Road, October 27, 1864, with a slight loss in wounded and missing, but none killed. 
It suffered severely while in the trenches before Petersburg, where for several weeks it lost men daily, either 
killed or wounded. During its eleven months in the field the hard fighting cost the regiment 614 men in killed 
and wounded, aside from the missing or jirisoners. It was mustered out of service June 4, 1865.

Notes. — Organized at Auburn, N. Y., from companies recruited in Cayuga and Wayne counties. The regi- 
ment was mustered into service on August 20, 1862, and left .Auburn the following day for Harper's Ferry, where, 
after joining that ill-fated garrison, it was included in its surrender shortly afterwards. The men were released 
on parole, but were not declared exchanged vnitil December, 1S62, when they entered the field again, and went 
into winter quartcr.s at Centreville, Va., remaining there several months in a brigade commanded by 
General Alex. Hays. On June 25, 1863, the brigade joined the Second Corps which was then marching by 
on its way to Gettysburg. The regiment left two companies on guard at .Accotink Bridge ; with the remaining 
eight companies, mimbering 390 men, it was engaged at Gettysburg on the second day of the battle, in the bril- 
liant and successful charge of Willard's Brigade, losing there 58 killed, 177 wounded, and 14 missing ; total, 249. 
The regiment did some more good fighting at the Wilderness, where it lost 42 killed, 1 19 wounded, and 17 miss- 
ing ; total, 178 — over half of its effective strength. Its casualties in the fighting around Spotsylvania amounted 
to 22 killed, 37 \vounde<l, and 13 missing. From Gettysburg until the end, the regiment fought under Hancock 
in the Second Corps, participating in every battle of that command. While on the Gettysburg campaign, and 
subsequendy at Bristoe Station, Mine Run and Morton's Ford, the regiment was attached to the Third Brigade, 
Third Division (.Alex. Hays's). Just before the Wilderness campaign it was placed in Frank's (3d) Brigade, 
Barlow's (ist) Division. This brigade (Frank's) was also composed entirely of New York troops, the 39th, 
tilth. 125th and 126th, to which were added in April, 1864, the 5 2d and 57th ; and, later on, the 7th N. Y. ; 
all crack fighting regiments.

Notes. — Upon its organization, the euinniand of the regiment was tendered to Colonel l)rake, who was then 
a captain in the Forty-ninth New York Infantry. He was a graduate of Rochester University, a clergyman, and 
had left the pastorate of a Baptist Church in VVestfielil, N Y., at the first call for troops. The One Hundred and 
Twelfth was organized at Jamestown, N. Y., from companies raised in Chautauqua county, and was mustered into 
the United States service, September 11, 1862. The regiment embarked, September 16, 1862, for Fort Monroe, 
proceeding from there to Suffolk, Va., where it sustained a severe loss by disease. In June, 1863 — then in

the heat and long, rapid marches, in .August, 1863, it went to l''olly Island, S. ('., taking i)art in the operations 
about Charleston Harbor; then, on February 23, 1864, .sailed for Florida, encamping at Jacksonville until .April

Notes. — Organized at Norwich, N. Y., leaving there on September 6, 1862, and journeying to Binghamton 
on canal boats, a long line of them being used for the jjurpose. Seven of the companies had been recruited in 
Chenango county, and three in Madison. The regiment sailetl from Baltimore on November 6, 1862, for New 
Orleans, where it was assigned to Weitzel's Brigade, .Augur's Division, Nineteenth Corps, and stationed at 
Brashear City, La. 

Its first experience under fire was at Fort Bisland, April 12, 1863, where several men were wounded, 
some of them mortally. After the Teche Campaign, — a march througlt " the garden of Louisiana," — the One 
Hundred and Fourteenth, on May 30, 1863, joined its Corps, which had already invested Port Hudson, 
and for forty days participated in the incessant fighting which echoed through the magnolia woods about the 
works. In the grand assault of June 14th, Colonel Smith, while in command of the brigade, was killed. The 
total loss of the regiment during the siege of Port Hudson was 1 1 killed, 60 wounded, and 2 missing. 

On March 15, 1864, — in Dwight's (ist) Brigade, Emory's (1st) Division, — it started on Banks's Red River 
campaign, traversing the Teche country for the sixth time, and fighting at Sabine Cross Roads, where Lieutenant- 
Colonel Morse, the regimental commandant, was wounded. The Nineteenth Corps having been ordered to Vir- 
ginia, the One Hundred and Fourteenth embarked for Washington on July 15, 1864, and after marching through 
Maryland, fought under Sheridan in his famous Shenandoah campaign against Early. At the battle of the Ope- 
quon, the regiment lost 185 men killed and wounded — three-fifths of those engaged — eliciting by its gallantry 
a complimentary notice from the Division General. At Cedar Creek it lost 21 killed, 86 wounded, and 8 miss- 
ing. The regiment was mustered out at Elmira on June 17, 1865.

Md., where arms and equipments were furnished. Two weeks afterwards the entire regiment was captured at the 
surrender of Harper's Ferry, and after being paroled was ordered to Chicago to await exchange. During 1863, 
the regiment was stationed at Hilton Head and Beaufort, S. C, and thence, on February 5, 1864, sailed for 
Florida. At the battle of Olustee, Fla , the regiment made a gallant fight, losing over 300 in killed, wounded or

1864, it lost 6 killed, 87 wounded, and 7 missing; total, 100. While at Cold Harbor the brigade was attached 
temporarily to the Eighteenth Corps, but on its return to the James it rejoined the Tenth Corps and went into 
position before Petersburg. Recrossing the James, the regiment was engaged at Deep Bottom, where it lost 5 
killed, 44 wounded, and 24 missing ; total, 73. .At the battle of Chaffin's Farm, the regiment was in the fight at 
Fort Gilmer, where it lost half of its number present in action ; on October 27, 1864, it joined in the advance on 
Richmond on the Darbytown Road, in which affair the One Hundred and Fifteenth sustained considerable loss 
from a volley fired into them, through mistake, by the Ninth Maine. In December, 1864, the Tenth Corps was 
discontinued, and the regiment was transferred to Ames's (2d) Division of the newly-formed Twenty- fourth Corps.

Upton was an officer of rare ability, and the regiment, which was composed of unusually good material, soon 
became, under Upton's care, a very efficient one. In the battle of Spotsylvania, May loth, Colonel Upton com- 
manded, and led in person, an assaulting column of twelve picked regiments belonging to the Sixth Corps, the 
One Hundred and Twenty-first being placed in the advance, an honor which cost it dear. Its losses at Spotsyl- 
vania amounted to 49 killed and 106 wounded ; none missing. The regiment captured four flags at Rappahan- 
nock Station, and two at Sailor's Creek. Its casualties at the Wilderness were 15 killed, 37 wounded, and 21 
missing; and at Cedar Creek, 10 killed, 42 wounded, and 5 missing. General Wright commanded the division 
at the Wilderness ; General Russell at the Opequon ; and General Wheaton at Cedar Creek.

Notes. — Recruited in Orange county in August, 1862, and organized at Goshen, N. Y. It was mustered 
into service there, and five days later it crossed the Potomac, 930 strong. After two months' service in Vir- 
ginia, the regiment joined the Army of the Potomac at Harper's Ferry. It was placed in Whipple's Division, 
with which command it was under fire at Fredericksburg, and hotly engaged at Chancellorsville. In the latter engage- 
ment it lost 28 killed, 161 wounded, and 15 missing ; a total of 204 out of 550 engaged. The regiment marched 
on the field of Gettysburg with 290 officers and men, of whom 28 were killed, 57 wounded, and 5 missing. 
Colonel Ellis and Major Cromwell were killed there, reeling lifeless from their saddles while cheering and encourag- 
ing their men. The regiment has erected a cosdy monument at Gettysburg, which is surmounted by a life-size 
marble statute of their heroic colonel. In April, 1864, the Third Corps was ordered discontinued, after which 
the " Orange Blossoms " served in the ranks of the Second Corps, but the men still retained the old diamond- 
shaped badge on their caps, and the piece of orange ribbon on their coats. In July, 1864, Mott succeeded to 
the command ofBirney's Division (3d Division, 2d A. C), and General DeTrobriand to the command of Ward's 
old Brigade. In Hancock's celebrated charge at Spotsylvania — May 12th — the regiment was in the front line, 
where its diminished ranks were again decimated, Colonel Cummins and Lieutenant-Colonel Weygant being 
wounded in the assault. Its losses at Spotsylvania were 7 killed, 46 wounded, and 8 missing; total, 61.

Notes. — Recruited and organized at Troy. N. Y. It was mustered into the United States service August 29, 
1862, and left the State immediately, en route for Harper's Ferry, where it was captured on September 15th, 
at the surrender of that post. The captured garrison was immediately paroled, the One Hundred and Twenty- 
fifth proceeding to Annapolis, from whence it was sent to a paroled camp at Chicago, 111., there to await notice of 
its exchange. .After a two months' stay at Chicago, the men were declared exchanged, upon which the regiment 
returned to Virginia. During the winter and spring of 1863 it was encamped at Centreville, Va., where it was 
attached to General Alex. Hays's Brigade. In June, 1863, that command joined the Army of the Potomac, and 
marched with it to Gettysburg, where Colonel Willard was killed while in command of the brigade, the regiment 
losing there 26 killed, 104 wounded, and 9 missing. At Gettysburg the One Hundred and Twenty-fifth was in 
Alex. Hays's (3d) Division, Second Corps ; and it fought under Hays again at Bristoe Station, an action in which 
the regiment particularly distinguished itself by its dash and intrepid bearing in a critical situation. In 1864, it 
was transferred to Barlow's (ist) Division, and took a prominent part in the bloody fighting about Spotsylvania. 
Lieutenant-Colonel Myer fell mortally wounded at the battle of the Wilderness. The casualties in the regiment 
at the Wilderness were 6 killed, i 7 wounded, and 5 missing ; at Po River and Spotsylvania, 10 killed, 74 wounded, 
and 6 missing ; at North Anna and Totopotomoy, 5 killed and 6 wounded. It commenced the final campaign of 
1865 with I2 0fficersand2i9men "present for duty," although the names of 547 men were still carried on the rolls.

NoTTES. — Organized at Ogden.sburgh from companies recruited in St. Lawrence and Franklin counties, and 
was mu.:$tered in .September 29, 1862. Proceeding immediately to Washington, it remained on duty there until 

.jiril 19, 1S63, when it moved to Suffolk, Va. It participated in the campaign of Gordon's Division, up the 
I'enin.sula in June, and in the Maryland march, soon after Gettysburg. From WztrenUm, Va,, the regiment went 
to Morris Island, S. C, arriving there August 17, 1S63. In the following May, the One Hundred and Forty- 
second returned to Virginia, and joined Butler's Army of the James, having been assigned to the First Brigade, 
-'jcond Divi-tion (Turner's), Tenth Corps. While at Cold Harbor the divi.sion was attached for a short time to 

ne Eighteenth Corps. The losses in the regiment at' Drewry's Bluff and Bermuda Hundred — May 16-20, 1S64 
— were 19 killed, 78 wounded, and 22 missing; at Chaffin's Farm, 6 killed, 51 wounded, and 10 missing; and 
at Darbytown Road, 8 killed, 90 wounded, and 5 missing. In December, 1864, the Tenth Corps was merged in 
the newly-formed Twenty- fourth Corps, the regiment being placed in CurtLs's (ist) Brigarle, Ames's (2d) 
Division. In the same month this division, including the One Hundred and Forty-second, sailed with Btitler on 
the first exfjedition against Fort Fisher, N. C. It landed there, and when the brigade was recalled from its 
advance the regiment had secured a position near to and in rear of the fort, — so near that Lieutenant Walling ha^! 
captured a battle flag which had been shot down from the parapets. A battalion of the enemy were captured by 
the One Hundred and Seventeenth New York, and the whole opposition of the Confederates was so weak that 
the officers believed that the fort could have been taken then with small loss. The statements of General 
Curtis and other officers were so positive on this r>oint, that General Grant was largely influenced by them in 
hb decision to order a second attempt. In this second affair, which was successfiil. General Curtis led the assaoh 
and fell seriously wounded, but survived to enjoy his honors as the " Hero of Fort Fisher,"

that famous regiment were transferred to the One Htmdred and Forty-sixth ; they mnnbereil 283 men. and were 
a valuable accession. In 1S04. a similar transfer was made from the Forty-fourth New York when this regiment 
went home. The regiment encountered its severest fighting at the kittle of the Wilderness, May 5, 1804, where 
It sutVerevI a terrible loss, not only in killevl an^l wounded, but in captured men, nearly ;oo having been taken 
prisoners. Colonel Jenkins and .Major Henry H. Curran were killed in that bloixly encounter, while the total loss

Nf/jKS. — The One Hundred and Fortynseventh was organized in the city of Oswego, N. V., from companies 
r'.-cruited in Oswego county, and was mustered into service on Septemljer 23, 1^62. Its first casiialties in Ijattie 
'xxurred May 29, 1863, in the aflair at Fitz Hugh's Crossing below Fredericksburg, one of the preliminary 
movements of the ChanceJlorsville campaign. 'l"he regiment, under command of Lieutenant-Colonel Miller, 
then marched to Oettysburg, 'ITie brigade — Cutler's — was the first infantry to arrive on that field, and to it 
fell the honor of opening that famous battle, the first volley c^jming from the rifles of the Fifty-sixth Pennsylva- 
nia,* When Cutler's tT'Mjps were forced back, the order to retire failed t/j reach the One Hundre*! and ¥<jrty- 
seventh, as Colonel Miller fell woamled and ieaselcm jnst as he receri-ed it, and so the gallant ban<5, under 
Major Flamey, continued to hold their ground. .A temporary success near by enabled them to retire in good 
'^rder ; but not all of them, for of the jJio who entere'l that fight, 76 were killed or mortally wounded, 146 were 
•vounded, and 79 were missing; total, joi.f

Notes. — The companies composing this regiment were recruited in Onondaga county, and organized at 
Syracuse, N. Y. It was mustered in on September 18, 1862, the Colonelcy having been accepted by General 
Barnum, who had already served with distinction as Major of the Twelfth New York. The regiment left Syra- 
cuse on September 23, 1S62, and within a short time joined General McClellan's army. It was assigned to the 
Third Brigade, Geary's Division, Twelfth Corps, in which command it fought at Chancellorsville, losing there 15 
killed, 68 wounded, and 103 captured or missing. .^t (Gettysburg the regiment participated in the famous 
defense of Gulp's Hill, made by Greene's Brigade, in which the One Hundred and Forty-ninth, fighting behind 
breastworks, lost 6 killed, 46 wounded, and 3 missing, but inflicted many times that loss on its assailants. With 
the Twelfth Corps, it was transferred to the Army of the Cumberland, and the Onondaga boys fought as bravely 
in Tennessee as in Virginia or at (Gettysburg. .At Lookout Mountain, Tenn., they captured five flags while 
fighting under Hooker in that memorable affair, their casualties amounting to 10 killed and 64 wounded. Before 
starting on the Atlanta campaign the Twelfth Corps was designated the Twentieth, its command being given 
to General Hooker. The regiment started on that campaign with 380 fighting men, of whom 136 were killed or 
wounded before reaching Atlanta. Lieutenant-Colonel Charles H. Randall, a gallant and skilful officer, was killed 
at Peach Tree Creek, in which action the regiment sustained its heaviest loss while on that campaign, its casual- 
ties there aggregating 17 killed, 25 wounded, and 10 missing. The regiment after marching with Sherman to 
the Sea was actively engaged in the Siege of Savannah, and then marched through the Carolinas on the final 
campaign which ended in the surrender of Johnson.

Notes. — One of the four regiments forming the Corcoran Legion, a brigade composed, mostly, of Irish 
soldiers. The One Hundred and Si.xty-fourth was recruited in New York, Brooklyn, Buffalo, and in the counties 
of Niagara and St. Lawrence. It was organized in New York City, and mustered into service on November 19, 
1862. The Legion was ordered to the Peninsula soon after, where it was placed in the Seventh Corps. On the 29th 
of January, 1863, the brigade started on the Blackwater E.xpedition (General Corcoran commanding the Division), 
during which it saw its first fighting, at the affair known as the Deserted House. The gallant behavior of the 
Legion in this engagement elicited a CJeneral Order from Department Headquarters which was highly compli- 
mentary to the command. In April, 1863, it was actively engaged in the Siege of Suffolk. General Corcoran 
commanded the Legion up to the time of his death, which occurred at Fairfax, Va., December 22, 1863. From 
July, 1S63, until May, 1864, the Legion was stationed near Washington, after which it joined Grant's army at 
Spotsylvania, where it was assigned to Gibbon's (2d) Division, Second Corps. .At Cold Harbor it was in the 
assaulting column, and succeeded in carrying the portion oi the enemy's works in its immediate front, but with a 
heavy loss in men and officers. Seven officers of the regiment were killed in that assault, including Colonel 
McMahon, who was shot down after having with his own hands planted the regimental colors on the Confederate 
works ; the regiment, however, was obliged to fall back, owing to the failure at other points of the line, having 
lost 16 killed, 59 wounded, and 82 missing. The Legion was commanded at Spotsylvania by Colonel Murphy 
(i82d N. Y.), who afterwards fell mortally wounded at Dabney's Mills. The casualties in the regiment at 
Spotsylvania were 12 killed, 66 wounded, and 14 missing; total, 92. Mustered out July 15, 1865.

NorKs. — Organized at Troy, N. V.. and mustered in by companies during September and October, 1S62, 
tlie men coming from Rensselaer and Washington counties. The regiment was actively engaged in the 
defence of Suffolk, Va., April, 1863, where it served in Foster's Brigade, Corcoran's Division. In the following 
summer it jiarticipated in the operations about Charleston Harbor, and in May, 1864, it moved wiih the Army 
of the James to Bermuda Hundred. The regiment disembarked there witli Butler's Army, and hard fighting, 
witli its conseiiuent lieavy losses, immeiliately ensued. At Cold Harbor it fought in Martindale's Division ; Col- 
onel McConihe was killed in that battle. The One Hundred and Sixty-ninth held a perilous position in the 
trenches before Petersburg, losing men there, killed or wounded, almost every day. While there, on the evening of 
Jime 30, 1864, the brigade (Barton's) was ordered to charge the enemy's lines, so that, under cover of their fire, 
Curtis's Brigade could throw tip an advanced rifle-pit ; but the regiment wiiile going into position was prema- 
turely discovered by the enemy, and thereby drew upon themselves a severe fire, which not only fnistrated the 
plan, but cost the regiment many lives. The regiment was one of those selected for the expedition against Fort 
Fisher; it was then in Bell's (3d) lirigade, Ames's Division, Tenth Corps, and took part in the desperate but 
victorious assault on that stronghold. .\ large proportion of its losses there, however, occurred at the explosion 
of the magazine, after the fort Iml Ihhii < aptured. .After the fall of Fort Fisher, the regiment accompanied the 
Tenth Corjjs in its advance on \\ ihnington. It was mustered out July 19, 1865.

Notes. — When General Corcoran returned from his year of imprisonment in Richmond, he raised the 
brigade of Irish regiments known as the Corcoran Legion, composed of the (Jne Hundred and Fifty-fifth, One 
Hundred and Sixty-fourth, One Hundred and Seventieth, ami One Hundred and P^ighty-second (Sixty-ninth 
N. Y. S. M.) New York regiments. The One Hundred and Seventieth was recruited in New York and Brooklyn, 
and was mustered in at Staten Island on October 7, 1862. It embarked for I-'ort Monroe in November, and 
after a few weeks' service on the Peninsula went to Suffolk. It was actively engaged in the defence of Suffolk, 
at which time the Legion was commanded by Colonel Murphy, of the Sixty-ninth N. Y. S. M., and the division 
by General Corcoran — the First Division, Seventh Corps. It remained on duly in that vicinity until July, 1863, 
when the Legion (General Corcoran commanding) was ordered to ^Vashingt(Ul, where it performed garrison and 
outpost duty. In May, 1864, it was transferred to the Army of the Potomac, and placed in Gibbon's (.'d) 
Division of the Second Corps, the Legion, under command of Colonel Murphy, arriving just in time to take pari 
in the closing battles around Spotsylvania. At the North Anna the One Hundred and Seventieth encountered a 
severe musketry fire, its casualty list there being the largest of any regiment in that battle : loss, 22 killed, 55 
wounded, and 22 missing; total, 99. It met with another heavy loss at Petersburg, June 16-22, 1864, where 
its casualties amounted to 22 killcl, 1 1 1 wounded, and 3 missing'; total, 13C. Most of this loss occurred in the 
assault of June i6. 'I'he regiment was again hotly engaged at Ream's Station, where Major Donnelly was killed. 
From June, 1864, until the close of the war, the Legion, together with the Eighth New York Heavy Artillery, 
formed the Second Brigade of the Second Division, Second Corps.

Notes. — The above enrollment may give an erroneous idea of the size of the regiment. Fully one-third 
vere not enrolled until after the regiment was through its hardest fighting ; they were conscripts, of whom over 
400 deserted, most of them deserting before they joined the regiment, although their names went to swell the 
enrollment. The Eighth left the State October i. 186 i, and joined the Second Jersey Brigade at Meridian Hill, 
Washington. Having been assigned to Hooker's Division it fought at WilHamsburg, where it lost 35 killed, 122 
wounded, and 4 missing; total, 161 ; Major Peter M. Ryerson was among the killed. At Chancellorsville, the 
division (Berry's) took a prominent part, the Jersey Brigade encountering there the severest fighting in its expe- 
rience. The Eighth lost in that battle, 18 killed, loi wounded, and 6 missing, out of 268 muskets officially 
reported present. Humphreys commanded Hooker's old division at Gettysburg, where the casualties of the 
regiment amounted to 7 killed, 38 wounded, and 2 missing, out of a small number engaged. When the 'I'hiid 
Corps was broken up, in March, iS64,the division was transferred to the Second Corps and General Mott placed 
in command. The regiment fought in all the succeeding battles of the Second Corps, earning laurels for itself 
and for its State. At Deep Bottom, August 16, 1864. it numbered only about 100 men; under the gallant Ram- 
sey it won official mention for its admirable bearing in that battle.

Notes. — The Eleventh reported at Washington, .August 26, 1862, and moved directly into Virginia where, in 
November, it was assigned to Carr's (ist) Brigade. Sickles's (2d) Division, Third Corps. The regiment made 
a splendid fight at Chancellorsville, the division, under General Berry, taking a very prominent part ; Berry was 
killed and the regimental casualties amounted to 18 killed, 146 wounded, and 5 missing; total, 169, out of about 
500 present for duty. The division was commanded by Humphreys, at Gettysburg, and in the battle of the 
second day fought at the Emmettsburg Road. The Eleventh took 275 officers and men into that action, losing 
17 killed, 124 wounded, and 12 missing ; total, 153. Major Phillip J. Kearney was mortally wounded in this 
battle. In the action at Locust Grove (Mine Run), November 27, 1863, the regiment lost 6 killed, 20 wounded, 
and 4 missing. This was the last battle of the Third Corps, for in March, 1864, the War Department issued the 
foolish and unjust order directing that the gallant organization be broken up and transferred to the Second Corps. 
The Eleventh thereupon became part of iVIc.Allister's Brigade, Mott's Division, Second Corps, in which Corps it 
fought during the remainder of the war. This brigade distinguished itself in the action at the Boydton Road, 
Colonel McAllister receiving a brevet brigadier's commission for his services on that field. .\ large number of 
conscripts were sent to the regiment in 1864-5, ^^^ ^^^ fighting was done, for the most pan, by the original 
regimeat.

Notes. — Left the State September 7, 1862, joining the main .^rmy in December, when it was placed in the 
Second Brigade (\Vm. Hays's), Third Division (French's), Second Corps. In this brigade it fought at Chancel- 
lorsville, its first battle; its casualties there were 24 killed, 132 wounded, and 22 missing; total, 178. General 
Alex. Hays led the division at Gettysburg, and General Thomas A. Smyth, the brigade. During that battle the 
Twelfth distinguished itself on the afternoon of the second day by a gallant chirge of four companies, in which 
they captured the Bliss barn, a buildmg situated midn'ay between the lines, and filled with the enemy's sharp- 
shooters ; seven Confederate officers and 92 men were captured by the Jerseymen in this notable affair ; but, njt 
without severe loss to the four companies engageil. The losses of the entire regiment at Gettysburg were 23 
killed, 83 wounded, and 9 missing. Upon the reorganization of the Army, in March, 1864, the regiment was placed 
in Carroll's (3d) Brigade of Gibbon's (2d) Division, a famous brigade in which seven States were represented. 
The Twelfth crossed the Rapidan with 425 men, of which number 177 were killed or wounded during the bloody 
week of the Wilderness and Spotsylvania ; Lieutenant-Colonel Thomas H. Davis, who commanded at these 
battles, was killed at Spotsylvania. The Twelfth made a charge at North Anna, deployed in one rank, which 
General Smyth pronounced the finest he ever saw. Another hard fight, this time at Cold Harbor, and the 
regiment was reduced to 90 muskets. In February, 1865, Lieutenant-Colonel Willian of the Eighth New 
Jersey was promoted to the colonelcy of the Twelfth.

Notes. — Organized at Freehold, N. J-, and left the State, 1,007 strong, on September 2d, 1862. Colonel 
Truex had served as major, and Lieutenant-Colonel Hall as adjutant, of the Fifth N. J. V. It was ordered on 
guard duty along the B. & O. R. R. near Monocacy, Md.. where it remained until June, 1863, when it moved to 
Harper's Ferry. In the following month, upon Lee's invasion, the garrison (French's Division) was withdrawn 
to Frederick, where it joined the .Army of the Potomac soon after Gettysburg, becoming the Third Division of 
the Third Corps. The regiment was under fire at Locust Grove (.Mine Run) for the first time, where it lost 14 
killed, and 49 wounded ; its casualties were the largest, numerically, of any regiment engaged in the various 
actions incidental to the Mine Run campaign. Upon the discontinuance of the third Corps, March, 1864, the 
division was transferred to the Sixth Corps as Ricketts's Third I)i\ision, the regiment being placed in Morris's 
(ist) Brigade. Its casualties in May and June, 1864, nearly all nf which occurred at Cold Harbor, were 29 
killed, 107 wounded, and 15 missing; the latter were mostly killed. In July the division returned to Maryland 
to meet Early's invasion, and at the Monocacy the regiment lost 14 killed, 105 wounded, and 39 missing, out of 
350 men engaged. In the battle of the Opequon, Major Peter Vredenburgh was killed while leading a charge 
on a battery, the regiment losing in that action 6 killed, and 56 wounded. Colonel True.x ( ommanded the 
brigade in the final and victorious assault of the corps on the works at Petersburg.

Notes. — The Fifteenth left the State Aug. 27, 1862, with 947 officers and men. Colonel Fowler was forced 
to resign within a few months on account of ill health, and died before the close of the war. He was succeeded 
by Penrose, then a Lieutenant in the Third United States Infantry. Lieutenant-Colonel Campbell had ser\'ed 
with honor in the Third New Jersey, and, as Colonel Penrose was in command of the brigade n>uch of the time, 
led the Fifteenth in most of its battles. The regiment joined the Army of the Potomac at Harper's Ferry on 
October i, 1862, and was assigned to the First Jersey Brigade, Brooks's (ist) Division, Sixth Corps; it remained 
in the First Division during its entire term of service. It was under fire at the first battle of Fredericksburg, sus- 
taining a small loss, but in the second batde at that place — Salem Church — it lost 24 killed, 126 wounded, and 
4 missing. On May 4, 1864, the regiment crossed the Rapidan with 15 ofiicers and 429 muskets available in 
action ; nearly 300 of these fell at Spotsylvania, the muster-out rolls bearing the names of 116 who were killed 
or mortally wounded there. In two weeks the command wns reduced to 6 officers and 136 muskets. The rem- 
nant of the regiment fought under Sheridan in the Shenandoah Valley, where they sustained another terrible per- 
centage of loss at Cedar Creek; Major Lambert Boeman was killed in that action. The rolls of the Fifteenth 
were swelled by large accessions of conscripts and substitutes who joined in the winter of 1864-5, but not uniil 
most of the fighting was over. The loss of life fell largely on the old regiment.

Notes. — Organized at Harrisburg in the fall of 1S61, from companies in various parts of the State. It left 
Harrisburg, December 19, 186 1, and went to Jeffersonville, Ind., where it was placed in a Camp of Instruction, 
but after a four weeks' stay took the field in Kentucky and Tennessee. The Second and Third Battalions were 
actively engaged, May 5, 1862, in an affair at Lebanon, Tenn. ; the Third Battalion, on July 13, 1862, was over- 
powered and captured after a hard contest at Murfreesboro, Tenn. The Seventh distinguished itself by a gallant 
charge through the streets of Shelbj^ille, Tenn., on June 27. 1S63. This charge was made by three companies 
under Captain Davis, who with his men dashed through the main street, up to the public square, in which there 
was a battery commanding the approach. The men rode through the fire of canister up to the muzzles of the 
guns, into the battery, fought for a while over the cannons, ,ind then, aided by troops which entered the town at 
other points, drove the garrison through the streets, out into the country and into the Duck River. The Seventh 
lost two officers killed in this charge. The regiment reiinlisted in the spring of 1864, and then accompanied 
Sherman's Army on the Atlanta campaign. It participated, in the spring of 1865, in Wilson's expedition to the 
Culf, and — in Long's Division — took part in the daring and successful assault on the enemy's intrenchments at 
Selnia, Ala.

Notes. — The Eleventh was raised originally as an independent regiment under special authority from the 
War Department, but was afterwards placed in the Pennsylvania line. Some of the companies were raised in 
other states ; two came from Xew York, one from Iowa, one from Ohio, and one from New Jersey. It organ- 
ized at Philadelphia, October 5, 1861, and the same month went to Virginia, 1 130 strong. After a month's stay 
in a camp of instruction it proceeded to Fort Monroe, where it spent six months, or more in drill and hght 
duty. Active service commenced in May, 1862, some of the companies doing duty near Suffolk, while five com- 
panies served with General McClellan's .Army on the Peninsula. In 1863, the regiment was employed on scout- 
ing and outpost duty in the vicinity of Suffolk and the Blackwater, during which several minor affairs or 
skirmishes occurred, with considerable loss in wounded and killed. Over 400 of the men reenlisted in the fall of 
1S63, ^vhich, with the recruits, preserved the organization of the regiment after its term had expired. In 1864, 
it fought in Kautz's Cavalry Division (afterwards Mackenzie's), and at Ream's Station lust over one hundred in 
i<illed and wounded, including three officers killed. .At Five F'orks another sharp contest occurred, in which 
-Major Monroe and two officers were killed, together with several of their men.

Notes. — Organized at Pittsburg, June 28, 1861, arriving at Washington, July 23d. The Reserves took the 
field in October, crossing into Virginia where they were engaged on outpost duty for several months. In May, 
1862, the division advanced to Fredericksburg, but returning immediately embarked for the Peninsula where it 
joined General iMcClellan's Army, then in front of Richmond. Two weeks later the regiment took part in the 
Seven Days Battles, its losses amounting to 32 killed, 113 wounded, and 85 missing; total, 230. Returning to 
the Rappahannock, the division was transferred to McDowell's C'orps — afterwards the First. Throughout the 
battle summer and autumn of 1S62, the Eighth fought in every engagement, and then the remnant of the gallant 
regiment marched to the field of Fredericksburg. 'I'here the Reserves, under Meade, charged a strong position 
of the enemy, and, though successful at points, were finally repulsed, the Eighth losing 131 men, or half its 
number. In February, 1863, the Reserves were ordered into the defences of Washington, having been with- 
drawn from active service in order that they might rest and recruit their shattered ranks. The Eighth remained 
there until the spring of 1864, when it rejoined the Army of the Potomac, the division having been again 
assigned to the Fifth Corps. The regiment fought at the Wilderness and Spotsj'lvania, and then on May 1 7, 
1864, while confronting the enemy's lines, rereiveil the welcome order which announced the expiration of its 
term of service.

Notes. — Recruited in Western Pennsylvania in May, 1861 , with rendezvous at Pittsburg. The men were of 
more than usual intelligence and education. Company I was recruited from the students at Allegheny College. 
Meadville, Pa., while Company D came from Jefferson College; the other companies were composed largely of 
similar material, teachers and pupils serving in the ranks together. The regiment arrived at Washington July 24. 
1861, and joined the Reserves at their Camp of Instruction, Tenallytown, Md, It participated in the brilliant 
success of Ord's Brigade at Dranesville, Va., December 20, 186 1, and early in the following spring marched with 
the Reserves in the advance on Manassas. In June, 1862, the division un ler General McCall was ordered to 
the Peninsula where it was assigned to General Fitz John Porter's Corps — the Fifth — and fought with Porter 
at Gaines's Mill. The loss of the Tenth in that engagement was 23 killed, 86 wounded, and 25 missing ; total, 
134. After leaving the Peninsula, the Reserves rejoined the First Corps, but owing to their heavy losses in 1862, 
they were ordered soon after the battle of Fredericksburg to return to Washington that they might rest and 
recruit. Hence, they were absent from Chancellorsville ; but when they heard that their native State was invaded, 
thev petitioned for orders to march to its defence, and two of the three brigades, accordingly, rejoined the army 
and fought at Gettysburg.

NoTE,s. — The Eleventh sustained the heaviest loss of any regiment in the Pennsylvania Reserves, while its 
percentage of loss is among the largest of any in the war. It was recruitcil in Western Pennsylvania, and arrived 
July 26, 1 86 1, at Washington, where it w.rs assigned to the Second lirigade, which was then commanded by 
General Meade. At Gaines's Mill, the Eleventh held its position in the face of a terrible fire until the othei 
troops had been forced to fall back, when, being surrounded by the enemy, it was obliged to surrender ; Company 
B was detailed on fatigue duty just before the fight commenced, and thus escaped the fate of their comrades. 
The captured men and officers were exchanged August 5th, rejoining the Army before it left the Peninsula. 
Resuming their place in the First Corps, the Reserves took part in the battles of Manassas and South Mountain ; 
when they entered the field at .\ntietam, the Eleventh had less than 200 men in line. Some recruits were obtained, 
and some of the wounded returned, so that it went into action at Fredericksburg with 394 officers and men ; of 
these, 2 1 1 were killed or wounded, .\fter a few months of needed rest at Washington the Reserves were assigned 
to the Fifth Corps, in which command they served at Gettysburg and in the Wilderness campaign. The Eleventh 
was relieved from dutv. May 30, 1S64, and ordered home for muster-out, the recruits having been transferred to 
the One Hundred and Ninetieth Pennsylvania.

Notes. — Known also as the First Pennsylvania Rifles, or Kane Rifles. It was recruited in April, i86t, 
from the lumbermen of the Pennsylvania forests ; the men were strong and hardy, each being a skillful marks- 
man, armed with his own rifle. The regiment was subsequently armed with Sharpe's rifles, and then again with 
Spencer seven-shooters. Each man wore a bucktail on his hat, and hence their name ; one which became 
famous throughout the army, "because of the extraordinary efficiency of the regiment. It took the field in June, 
proceeding to Cumberland, Md., in which vicinity it was actively engaged on scout and picket duty until 
October, when it joined its division — the Pennsylvania Reser\'es — at Washington. In the spring of 1862, four 
companies, under Colonel Kane, served in the Shenandoah Valley, while the others accompanied the Reserves to 
the Peninsula. The regiment was united again at Manassas, in which battle they were engaged, and then 
marched with General McClellan to .\ntietam, where Colonel McNiel was killed. The Bucktails met with a 
severe loss at Fredericksburg, their ca.sualties there amounting to 19 killed, 1 13 wounded, and 29 missing ; total, 
161. .4t Gettysburg the brigade, led by the gallant McCandless, rendered good service near Little Round Top. 
Colonel Taylor, who was killed there, was a brave officer and a gentleman of culture and accomplishments ; he 
was a brother of Bayard Taylor. The Bucktails did good work under Grant at the Wilderness and Spotsylvania, 
after which they were mustered out at Harrisburg, Pa., June 11, 1864, their term of service having expired.

Notes. — Originally a three months regiment which was organized in April, 1861, and was under fire July 2, 
1 86 1, at Falling Waters, Md. Reentering the service for three years, it was again mustered in at Harrisburg, Pa. 
It left there November 27, 1861, and proceeded to .\nnapolis with nine companies, numbering 813 officers and 
men ; the tenth company joined the command nine months later, on the eve of its first battle — at Thoroughfare 
Gap, Va. In May, 1862, it joined McDowell's Corps, having been assigned to Hartsuff's (3d) Brigade, Rickett's 
(2d) Division, in which command it fought at Manassas; it lost there 44 killed, 114 wounded, and 88 missing; a 
total of 246, including the losses at Thoroughfare Gap and Rappahannock ; Lieutenant-Colonel Martin was 
among the killed. The whole brunt of the fight at Thoroughfare Gap fell on the Eleventh. Three weeks later 
the men were again hotly engaged at .Antietam, where 124 more fell under the enemy's fire. The reenlisted men 
received their furlough in February, 1864, and went home, 276 in number, returning the next month with 314 
additional recruits. The regiment entered Grant'; campaign as a part of Baxter's Brigade, Robinson's Division, 
Fifth Corps, in which command it was engaged at the Wilderness and at Spotsylvania, Major Keenan losing his 
life in the latter battle. While carrying the State flag of the Eleventh, three color bearers were killed, and 
eleven wounded. The service of this regiment was a long and active one, and its loss in battle was e.xceptionally 
large.

Notes. — The Twenty-sixth was one of the first regiments that marched to the defence of the National Capital. 
In company with the Sixth Massachusetts, it was attacked by a mob while passing through Baltimore, on April 19, 
186 1, in which affair the regiment lost one man killed and several wounded. The regiment was not mustered-in 
until May 5th, when it was sworn in for three years ; the enrollment, however, included very few of the original 
cornmand who were at Baltimore, as they had tendered their services for a short term only. The Twenty-sixth 
encamped at Washington in May, i86i, and in October, having been assigned to Grover's Brigade, Hooker's 
Division, moved to Budd's Ferry, Md., where it was stationed until the spring campaign of 1862. At Chancel- 
lorsville ^ in Berry's Division — it made a good fight, Colonel Tilghman being severely wounded, while the regi- 
ment lost II killed, 71 wounded, and 9 missing. Its hardest fighting occurred at Gettysburg, where, out of 382 
engaged, it lost 30 killed, 176 wounded, and 7 missing; total, 213; two officers and three color bearers were 
killed there. In 1864 the regiment served in McAllister's Brigade, Mott's Division, Second Corps. It took part 
in Hancock's grand charge at Spotsylvania, and in the subsequent movements to the Pamunkey ; at the latter 
place it embarked for Washington, June 3, 1864, en route for home. It was mustered-out at Philadelphia, June 
18, 1864, the recruits and reenlisted men remaining in the field having been transferred to the Ninety-ninth

Organized at Philadelphia in June, 1861. Leaving there on July 27th, it proceeded to 
Harper's Ferry, where it was attached to General Banks's command. It remained for a year in the 
vicinity of the Upper Potomac and Shenandoah Valley, during which time it was constantly engaged on important 
outpost duty, varied by occasional reconnoissances or sharp skirmishes. In 1862, it was assigned to the First 
P-rigade of Greene's (2d) Division, and fought in that command at Antietam, where, under Major Pardee, it 
charged the enemy's position at the Dunker Church, and checked the Confederate advance. Its loss at Antietam 
«'as 44 killed, 217 wounded, and 5 missing; total, 266; Lieutenant-Colonel Tyndale, who commanded the 
brigade in that battle, was severely wounded. In October, 1862, companies L, M, N, O, and P, were transferred 
to the One Hundred and Forty-seventh Pennsylvania, and Major Pardee was promoted to the Colonelcy of that 
regiment. .'Vt Chancellorsville, the Twenty-eighth was commanded by Major L. F. Chapman, an intrepid and 
skilful officer, who lost his life there. The regimental loss at Chancellorsville was i 7 killed, 60 wounded, and 24 
missing; total, 10 1. The Twenty-eighth was afterwards transferred to the Western Army, in which it fought at 
Lookout .Mountain, and in the long and bloody .Atlanta campaign.

Notes. — Organized at Camp ('urtin, Harrishurg, Pa., on October 21, 1861, the men having been enlisted 
mostly in Tioga, Centre, and Lancaster Counties. It cmbavked at Baltimore, November 19th, for F'ort Monroe, 
and after remaining there a month re-embarked for Hilton Head, S. C. It returned to Virginia in August, 1862, 
having been assigned to Willcox's (ist) Division, Ninth Corps; Colonel Welsh was placed in command of the 
brigade. At South Mountain the Forty-fifth drove the Confederates from a strong position, but their gallantry 
cost them a loss of 27 killed and 107 wounded. In the spring of 186,5, the Ninth Corps was transferred to the 
Western Army ; it subsequently took part in the operations about Vicksburg, and then in the fighting with Long- 
street's Corps at the Siege of KnoxviUe, Tenn. In January, 1864, 426 of the men reenlisted for the war, thus 
ensuring a continuance of the regimental organization. The Ninth Corps having returned to Virginia in 1864, 
the regiment participated in Grant's campaigns and was hotly engaged at the Wilderness, where it lost 1 7 killed, 
1 19 wounded, and 7 missing ; and at Cold Harbor, where 181, or over half the regiment were killed or wounded. 
Major Keisey being among the killed. The Forty-fifth took part in all the hard fighting at Petersburg, Colonel 
Curtin falling severely wounded in the assault of June 18. In the fighting at the crater of the exploded Mine, it 
captured the flag of the Sixth Virginia. The regiment was mustered out July 17, 1865.

Notes. — Organized ir. September, 186 t, at Harrisburg, Pa., the regiment was ordered, soon after, to Har- 
per's Ferry, where it was assigned to Crawford's Brigade, Williams's Division, Banks's Corps, subsequently the 
Twelfth Corps. It remained in the vicinity of the Upper Potomac until the early part of 1862, when it moved 
with Banks up the Shenandoah Valley. Stonewall Jackson's presence there made an active campaign in 
which the Forty-sixth took a prominent part. At Cedar Mountain, Banks gave battle with his little army, 
and a bloody contest ensued The Forty-sixth entered that engagement with 23 officers and 4S1 men; it lost 
there 31 killed, 102 wounded, and 1 1 1 missing or captured ; eleven officers were killed or wounded. 'i he regi- 
ment was in line with the Twelfth Corps at Antietam, Chancellorsville and Gettysburg, after which the Corps was 
ordered to Tennessee. Having rei-nlisted for the war it was granted a thirty days furlough in January, 1864, 
after which it returned with its ranks well recruited. The Corps number was changed to the Twentieth and the 
command given to General Hooker. The regiment shared in all of Sherman's hard fighting in his advance on 
Atlanta, during which occurred the batde of Peach Tree Creek, Ga., in which it withstood a desperate attack; 
five of the officers lost their lives in this affair. The Forty-sixth marched through Georgia and the Carolinas with 
Sherman ; thence through Virginia, over its old battle grounds, to Washington where it took part in the Grand 
Review at the close of the war.

Notes. — Recruited in the mining regions of Schuylkill County. Leaving the State, September 24, 1 861, it 
proceeded to Fort Monroe, where it remained encamped until November i ith, when it sailed for Hatteras Island, 
N.C. It served in Burnside's Department, and in April, 1862, was assigned to Nagle's Brigade, Reno's Division, 
in which command it fought at Manassas. The regiment followed the various fortunes of the Ninth Corps in all 
its wanderings ; fought well at Antietam and Fredericksburg ; then shared the hardships of the campaign in West 
Tennessee; and, in 1864, having reenlisted for the war, rejoined the Army of the Potomac. At Antietam the 
regiment lost 8 killed, 51 wounded, and i missing ; and at Spotsylvania, 17 killed and 86 wounded. Though an 
efficient regiment in battle, the Forty-eighth became famous by reason of its connection with the Mine at Peters- 
burg. This mine was excavated entirely by the men of the Forty-eighth under the supervision of Lieutenant- 
Colonel Pleasants, who conceived the idea, planned and carried it out. The main gangway was over 500 feet 
long ; 8,000 pounds of powder were successfully exploded, forming a crater 250 feet long, and 25 feet deep. 
Colonel Pleasants and his men received a special acknowledgment of their services in General Orders, No. 32. 
The regiment fought its last battle .April 2, 1865, at the Fall of Petersburg, in which Colonel Gowan was killed. 
He entered the service as a Lieutenant, serving with honor in every campaign, only to meet his fate in the final 
battle.

Notes. — Recruited in Mifflin, Centre, Chester, Huntingdon, and Juniata Counties. It arrived at Washing- 
ton September 2 2d, 1861, where it was assigned to Hancock's Brigade of \Vm. F. Smith's Division, a brigade 
composed of exceptionally good regiments. Under its able general the brigade soon won distinction at Williams- 
burg, where, by its brilliant and effective manoeuvres, it aided materially in securing a victory : that it accom- 
plished the same with but little loss, reflected all the more credit on its "superb" commander. In the spring of 
1863 the Forty-ninth was transferred to the Third Brigade, First (Brooks's) Division, Sixth Corps, in which 
command it remained during the rest of the war. The brigade — Sixth Maine, Forty-ninth Pennsylvania, One 
Hundred and Nineteenth Pennsylvania, and Fifth Wisconsin — distinguished itself particularly at Rappahannock 
Station, carrying the enemy's works by a bayonet charge in which some of the regiments lost heavily. However 
fortunate the Forty-ninth may have been in previous battles, it was destined to suffer a terrible loss at Spotsyl- 
vania. In that battle it was one of the twelve selected regiments which formed the assaulting column under the 
gallant Upton. In that charge, 260 of its men were cut down by the enemy's fire, and Colonel Hulings and 
Lieutenant-Colonel John B. Miles were killed Two days later the regiment was engaged in the bloody contest 
at the "Angle" with still further loss. From May 6th to .May 13th, 1864 — including the Wilderness and Spot- 
sylvania — this regim.ent lost 317, in killed or wounded, out of the 530 who crossed the Rapidan.

Notes. — Organized at Harrisburg, Pa., in September, 1861, having been recruited in the central part of the 
State. Proceeding to Annapolis it was brigaded with Ceneral Stevens's command, and in October sailed with 
General Sherman's (T. \V.) expedition to Hilton Head, S. C. The regiment remained in this department sev- 
eral months, during which time it had a varied experience in campaigning and fighting ; at Pocotaligo, Captain 
Charles H. Parker was killed while bravely leading a forlorn hope across the string pieces of an abandoned 
bridge. In July, 1862, the Fiftieth joined the Ninth Corps at Fort Monroe, then on its way to reinforce Pope. 
It was actively engaged in the battles of Manassas and Chantilly, in which the regiment lost 19 killed, 119 
wounded, and 15 missing ; total, 153. After more hard fighting, at Antietam, it was transferred with the Corps to 
the West, where it participated in the Siege of Vicksburg, it being then in Potter's (2d) 1 livision. In the fighting 
before Jackson, Miss., the regiment lost its Lieutenant-Colonel, Thomas S. Brenholz, who was mortally wounded 
there. The Fifteenth shared the privations and dangers of the campaign at Kno.wille, Tenn., and then returned 
to Virginia in the spring of 1S64, it having recnlisted in the meanwhile and received its veteran furlough. It 
fought under Grant from the Rapidan to Appomatto.x, and was mustered out July 30. 1865. Its casualties at 
Spotsylvania were 23 killed, 109 wounded, and 113 captured or missing. At the dedication of the Gettysburg 
monument, July 4. 1865, the Fiftieth was present by order of the AVar Department as a representative of the army.

Notes. — Organized at Harrisburg, November 7, 1861. In January, 1862, it sailed from .\nnapolis with 
Burnside's Expedition to North Carolina, having been assigned to Reno's Brigade. It returned to Virginia 
with the Ninth Corps in August, 1862, and was engaged at the battles of Manassas; it was then in Ferrero's 
Brigade of Reno's Division. The Fifty-first achieved historic prominence at Antietam by its famous charge 
across the stone bridge which spans the Antietam Creek. The enemy's rifle pits and batteries cominanded 
the approaches to this bridge ; afier repeated attempts by other troops. Colonel Hartranft led his regiment 
across the narrow roadway of the span, and gained a position on the opposite bank. In this daring affair 
the regiment was ably supported by the Fifty-first New York under Colonel Robert B. Potter. The casual- 
ties of the Fifty-first Pennsylvania at the bridge, and in the subsequent fighting of that day, ainounted to 21 
killed, and 99 wounded, Lieutenant-Colonel Thomas S. Bell being among the killed. The regiment afterwards 
fought with the Ninth Corps in Mississippi and Tennessee. It rernlisted, went home on fudough, was fully re- 
cruited, and then served under Grant in the Virginia campaigns. At Cold Harbor it took part in an advance 
against the enemy's lines in which Lieutenant-Colonel Edwin Schall, who was in command, was killed while 
leading his men.

Notes. — Recruiting commenced in September, 1861, the companies being raised in various counties. An 
organization was effected at Harrisburg, November 5, 1861, after which the regiment proceeded immediately, to 
Washington. It wintered in Virginia, near Ale.\andria, and then went with General McClellan to the Peninsula, 
having been assigned to French's (3d) Brigade, Richardson's (1st) Division, Second Corps, remaining in that 
famous division throughout its service. Its first e.xperience in battle was at Fair Oaks ; Major Thomas Yeager 
was killed there, the total loss of the regiment amounting to 13 killed, 64 wounded, and 17 missing. Genen.l 
Richardson was killed at Antietam, and Geneial Hancock succeeded to the command of the division. General 
Zook commanded the brigade at Fredericksburg, where, in that bloody assault, the Fifty-third lost 21 killed, 133 
wounded, and i missing, out of the 283 men who were in line that day. In December, 1863, the regiment 
reonlisted for the war, and so was present at all the battles of the Second Corps. It participated, with severe loss, 
in Hancock's charge at Spotsylvania, in the assaults at Col;l Harbor and Petersburg, and was actively engaged in 
the battle near Hatcher's Run, on March 31, 1865, an engagement known as White Oak Road, or Boydton Road. 
Its losses at Spotsylvania were 26 killed, 123 wounded, and 28 missing ; total, i 77. The regiment was mustered 
out June 30, 1865.

Notes. — Organized at Harrisburg, Pa., having been recruited mostly iu the western part of the State. It 
arrived at Washington in December, 1S61, where it remained a couple of months, and then marched into Virginia, 
encamping nea: Alexandria. With the Army of the Potomac, it took the field early in 1862, under General 
McClellan, and was actively engaged in the siege operations at Yorktown. It was then in Jameson's Brigade, 
Kearny's Division, Third Corps. At Fair Oaks it lost 1 1 killed, 48 wounded, and i missing, Major Culp being 
among the killed. At Fredericksburg, out of 316 present, there was a loss of 18 killed, 80 wounded, and 52 
missing, many of the latter being killed or wounded. In that battle the brigade was commanded by General J. 
H. Ward. At Chancellorsville the loss was 10 killed, 43 wounded, and 18 missing ; at Gettysburg, 1 1 killed, 46 
wounded, and 58 missing ; at the Wilderness, 22 killed, 128 wounded, and 3 missing. These were the casualties 
as officially reported. Upon the discontinuance of the Third Corps the regiment became a part of Alex. Hays's 
Brigade, Birney's (3d) Division, Second Corps. The hard fighting at the Wilderness and Spotsylvania reduced 
the ranks so that it was consolidated into a battalion of six companies. In January, 1865, it received an acces- 
sion of four companies from the Eighty-fourth Pennsylvania, which had also been consolidated previous to the 
transfer. Lieutenant-Colonel Zinn of the Eighty-fourth was made Colonel of the Fifty-seventh. The regiment 
was mustered out June 29, 1865.

Notes. — There were more officers killed in the Sixty-first Pennsylvania than in any other regiment in the 
entire Union Army. Colonel Rippey and four line officers were killed at Fair Oaks ; Colonel Spear and a Lieu- 
tenant fell dead at the storming of Marye's Heights; Lieutenant-Colonel John W. Crosby was killed in the final 
and victorious assault of the Sixth Corps at Petersburg ; the adjutant and four other officers lost their lives at the 
Wilderness and Spotsylvania ; another fell at Malvern Hill ; another at Fort Stevens ; two at Cedar Creek, and 
two at Charlestown in the Shenandoah. With such officers to lead there was a consequent heavy loss among 
their men. At Fair Oaks the Sixty-first suffered the most of any regiment in that battle, its casualties amounting 
to 68 killed, 152 wounded, and 43 missing; a total of 263, but not without exacting from the enemy an equiva- 
lent of loss, the official reports making mention of the large number of the enemy's dead which lay in front of 
the position occupied by the Sixty-first. While on the Peninsula it was in .Abercrombie's Brigade, of Couch's 
Division, Fourth Corps. At Marye's Heights it formed part of the famous '• Light Division " of the Sixth Corps, 
and through the Wilderness and Shenandoah campaigns it fought in Neil's (3d) Brigade, Getty's (2d) Division, 
Sixth Corps. Its losses at the Wilderness were 20 killed, 113 wounded, and 18 missing; at Spotsylvania, 31 
killed, 102 wounded, and 6 missing. It was organized at Pittsburg in August, 1861, reenlisted in 1864, and was 
mustered out June 28, 1865.

Notes. — Recruited in July, i86i, six companies coming from Allegheny County, the others from the west- 
ern part of the State. The regiment encainped in Virginia in September, 1861, and after six months of drill, 
discipline, and field duty, confronted the enemy at the Siege of Yorktown. After the fiill of Yorktown — in May, 
1S62 — it moved up the Peninsula, then in Griffin's Brigade, Morell's Division, P'ifth Corps, in which command 
it fought at Gaines's Mill. Colonel Black was killed in that battle, the regiment losing 15 killed, 73 wounded, 
and 76 missing. It was engaged, four days later, at Malvern Hill, where its colors were cut down five times, but 
were borne from the field flying. At Gettysburg the division was commanded by General Barnes ; it fought there 
in the historic wheat field, the Sixty-second losing in that battle 28 killed, 107 wounded, and 40 missing ; Major 
William G. Long and five line ofificers were killed there. The winter of 1863-4 was passed quietly in winter 
quarters; then, in May, 1S64, with 557 men, the regiment entered upon the bloody campaign which occurred 
between May 6th and June i8th of that year. In the hard fighting about Spotsylvania it lost 14 killed (includ- 
ing Lieutenant- Colonel James C. Hall, who^ was in command), 112 wounded, and 18 missing; total, 144. The 
Sixty-second, during its active sendee, was always in the Second Brigade, First Division, Fifth Corps, Colonel

Notes. — Seven companies were recruited in Pittsburg, or in its vicinity ; the others were from the western 
counties. The regiment was organized in August, 1861, joining the army in October of the same year, where it 
was assigned to Heintzelman's Division. It performed outpost duty in Virginia for several months, during which 
an affair occurred on the picket line in which Captain Chapman and Quartermaster Lysle were killed. When 
the Third Corps moved to the Peninsula the Sixty-third went there with its brigade (Jameson's), and took part 
in some of the hardest fighting in that campaign. At Fair Oaks, with only eight companies in line, it held its 
position steadily in the face of a musketry fire which cut down over a hundred men; 23 were killed, 79 wounded, 
and 20 missing. -At Manassas, Colonel Hays was severely wounded, the regiment losing 15 killed, 94 wounded, 
and 1 1 missing. It was hotly engaged again, at Chancellorsville, where it lost many of its most valued officers. 
In that battle. Colonel Kirkwood, Adjutant McGranahan, and four line ofificers were killed. After the discontinu- 
ance of the Third Corps, with its gallant organization, the regiment was placed in Hays's Brigade, Birney's 
Division, Second Corps. (General Hays was killed at the Wilderness, and in the same battle the Sixty-third lost 
191 of its number killed or wounded, out of 485 in line. Its term of service expired September 9, 1864. The 
recruits and retnlisted men remaining in the field wore transferred to the Ninety-ninth Pennsylvania, while the 
others, few in nimiber. returned to their homes.

Notes. — The Philadelphia Brigade occupies a prominent place in the history of the battle of Gettysburg. 
Under command of General Alex. S. Webb, it held that particular point on the line which is familiar to the 
battle-field tourists as " the high-water mark of the Rebellion." This position was the focus of a concentrated 
fire during the unprecedented artillery combat of the third day ; and when that storm of missiles was followed by 
the grand assault known as Pickett's charge, the enemy's column made its most daring and desperate thrust 
against that point of the line which was held by Webb and his men. It was here that Cushing's Battery made 
its gallant fight, and here that General Armistead, the leader of the Confederate assault, fell dead at the muzzle 
of one of Cushing's guns. The Si.xty-ninth entered that fight with 258 officers and men, and held the stone wall 
in front of the brigade ; it lost there 40 killed, 80 wounded and 9 missing, Colonel O'Kane and Lieutenant- 
Colonel Tschudy being among the killed. At Antietam, it was in Sedgwick's Division, and fought at the Dunker 
Church; its loss in that battle was 19 killed, 58 wounded, and 15 missing. This regiment, like the New York 
Sixty-ninth, was composed mostly of Irish blood, and fully sustained the reputation of the Irish soldier for gal- 
lantry in batde. It was recruited in Philadelphia, and served continuously in the Second Division of the corps. 
General Owen commanded the brigade in the camp- " i S64.

Notes. — Recruited in Philadelphia, May 1861, by Edward D. ISaker, United States Senator from California. 
In July the regiment proceeded to Fort Monroe, whence, after a short stay, it returned to Washington and com- 
menced active service in Northern Virginia. In October it was assigned to Stone's Division, and soon after took 
part in the affair at Ball's Bluff. Colonel Baker, who was in command of the brigade, was killed there, the regi- 
ment losing 13 killed, 40 wounded, and 228 captured or missing. The Seventy-first was organized with fifteen 
companies, but after the Peninsular campaign the five superfluous companies were discontinued, and the men 
transferred to the others. It was assigned to the Second Division of the Second Corps, in which division it 
remained without change. Sedgwick commanded the division at Antietam, where it was engaged in one of the 
bloodiest contests of the war. Its loss in that batde was 26 killed, 95 wounded, and 18 missing — one-third of 
its number on that field. .At Gettysburg, it was stationed at the angle of the stone wall against which Armistead 
and his Confederate brigade made such a desperate attack during Pickett's charge. In this battle the Seventy- 
first, under Colonel .Smith, lost 21 killed, 58 wounded, and 19 missing, out of 24 officers and 397 men carried 
into action. The regiment was mustered out July 9, 1864, its terra of service having expired

Notes. — Recnnted in Philadelphia as a " Fire Zouave" regiment. It was organized in August, 1861, with 
fifteen companies, five of which were disbanded in 1862 and the men distributed to the other ten companies. In 
the fall of 1 86 1, the regiment was in Stone's Division, which was guarding the Maryland side of the Upper 
Potomac. In March, 1862, it moved up the Shenandoah Valley in Banks's command, but was transferred soon 
afte* to the Peninsular Army. There the Philadelphia Brigade was placed under command of General Wm. W. 
Burns, and was assigned to Sedgwick's Division. At Savage Station — one of the Seven Days battles — the regi- 
ment lost 14 killed and 85 wounded ; at Antietam it fought under Sedgwick at the Dunker Church, where it lost 
38 killed, 163 wounded, and 36 missing; total, 237. General Alex. S. Webb commanded the brigade at Gettys- 
burg. In that batde the Seventy-second occupied an exposed position during the terrible artillery firing of the third 
day, and then took a conspicuous part in the repulse of Pickett's Virginians. The monument of the Seventy- 
second, which stands on that historic spot, states in its inscription, that the regiment had 473 men in line that 
day and that their loss was 44 killed, 145 wounded, and 2 missing ; total, 191. At Mine Run, Lieutenant- 
Colonel Theodore Hesser was killed on the skirmish line, while in command of the regiment. Its shortened 
lines were actively engaged in all the battles of the Wilderness campaign, and then, while in the trenches before 
Petersburg, August, 1864, it received the order for its muster-out.

Notes. — Fort Wagner was a memorable locality of the war by reason of many varied incidents of siege and 
assault, together wilh the dramatic character which invested some of those thrilling scenes. There were two dis- 
tinct assaults; the first occurred July 11, 1863, and the second, just one week later. The Seventy-sixth took a 
conspicuous part in the first assault, which was made by three regiments only ; the Ninth Maine, Seventy-sixth 
Pennsylvania, and the Seventh Connecticut — under General Strong the brigade commander. The Seventy-sixth 
occupied the centre of the line, its advance taking it over a ridge where it was exposed to the fire of the fort. 
The assault failed, but not until 180 of the regiment had been cut down. .'Another attempt was made on the 
1 8th with an assaulting column of the three brigades, but it also failed, and General Strong was killed. The 
Seventy-sixth had the honor of participating in the successful assault on Fort Fisher. It was then in Penny- 
packer's Brigade, Ames's Division ; General Terry commanded the expedition. .As these troops remained in 
North Carolina, the Tenth Corps which had been discontinued was reorganized with Terry in command. Gen- 
eral Pennypacker was badly wounded at Fort Fisher, and Colonel Littell succeed to the command of the brigade. 
The Seventy-sixth was organized at Harrisburg in October, 1861 ; it proceeded immediately to Hilton Head, 
S. C, and remained in that Department until it entered the Virginia campaign of 1864. In the actions at 
Drewry's Bluff and its vicinity the regiment lost 15 killed, 1 19 wounded, and 10 missing; total, 144. It reiin- 
listed and served through the whole period of the war.

Notes.— Organized at Philadelphia in October, 1861. .-^fter encamping near Washington for several month;3, 
it commenced active service in the field, March, 1862, — then in Howard's (ist) Brigade. Richardson's (ist) 
Division, Sumner's (2d) Corps. Colonel Miller was killed in the first battle — Fair Oaks — and at Malvern Hill 
his successor, Lieutenant-Colonel Eli T. Conner, fell dead while gallantly leading his men. The division was com- 
manded by Hancock at Fredericksburg, where the Eighty-first took part in the memorable assault of that day, 
losing 176 out of 261 present on the field. Enough of the men reenlisted, in January. 1864, to ensure a contin- 
uance of the organization, and they received a veteran furlough. Hard fighting with further heavy losses were 
encountered in Grant's campaigns, and at Cold Harbor, Colonel McKeen. was killed, while in command of a 
brigade. The Eighty-first took part in all the battles of the First Division, being hotly engaged at Farmville, at 
which place the Second Corps fought its last battle.

Notes. — The Eighty-third encountered more fighting and lost more men in batde than any other Pennsyl- 
vania regiment ; in fact, its loss in action was exceeded by only one other in the entire Union army. None of its 
losses were caused by blunders, none occurred in disastrous routs ; its dead always lay with their faces to the 
enemy. With its " twin regiment," the Forty-fourth New York, it was assigned to Butterfield's Brigade, Morell's 
Division, Fifth Corps. Colonel McLane was killed at Gaines's Mill, and Vincent fell at Gettysburg while in 
command of the brigade. At Gaines's Mill, the regiment lost 46 killed, 51 wounded, and 99 missing ; four days 
later, at Malvern Hill, it lost 33 killed, 1 15 wounded, and 18 missing — a total of 362, out of the 554 present at 
Gaines's Mill. At Manassas, under Lieutenant-Colonel McCoy, it lost 14 killed, 72 wounded, and 11 missing, 
out of 224 ofificially reported by McCoy as present and engaged. It had the honor, at Gettysburg, of participat- 
ing in the brilliant manoeuvre of its brigade — Vincent's — in seizing Little Round Top at a critical moment, 
helping materially to save the fortunes of the day. At Spotsylvania, its casualties amounted to 2 i killed, 119 
wounded, and 24 missing ; total, 164, General McClellan once publicly pronounced the Eighty- third •■ one of 
the very best regiments m the array."

Notes. — Although a Third Corps regiment, the Eighty-fourth saw much active service while in other com- 
mands. Soon after its organization, in 1 861, it was ordered to the Upper Potomac, and thence to the Shenandoah 
Valley where it served under General Lander, and, after his death, in Shields's Division. It was with Shields at 
Kernstown, and was body engaged there ; Colonel Murray and two line officers were killed there, the regiment 
losing 21 killed, and 71 wounded. At Cedar Mountain and Manassas it was in Ricketts's Division, of McDowell's 
Corps ; at Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville it was in Carroll's Brigade, Whipple's Division, Third Corps. At 
Chancellorsville it lost 215 in killed, wounded, missing, and prisoners, out of 391 present. The regiment was not 
engaged at Gettysburg, having been detailed as a train-guard. Upon the discontinuance of the Third Corps it 
was again transferred, this time to Mott's Division, Second Corps. Colonel Bowman having been detailed on 
duty elsewhere, the command of the regiment devolved on Lieutenant-Colonel Milton Opp, an experienced and 
efficient officer who fell mortally wounded at the Wilderness. The regiment was mustered-out in November, 1864, 
but enough recruits and reenlisted men remained to form a battalion of four companies. This battalion was 
consolidated January 13. 1865, with the Fifty-seventh Pennsylvania, and Lieutenant-Colonel Zinn of the Eighty 
fourth became colonel of the Fifty-seventh. Its casualties at the Wilderness and Spotsylvaiiia May 5-13, 1864, 
were 13 killed, 70 wounded, and 2 missing.

Notes. — This regiment was raised through the efforts of Colonel McCarter, a Methodist clergyman who had 
served as a Chaplain in the three months service. It was organized at Lebanon, Pa., in October, 1861. In March, 
1862, it was assigned to Peck's Brigade, Couch's Division, F'ourth Corps, and went to the Peninsula. The regi- 
ment was in the hottest of the fight at Fair Oaks, where it displayed remarkable steadiness under fire. Its losses 
there were 20 killed, 84 wounded, and 22 missing; Colonel McCarter was severely wounded and lost two horses 
killed. After .Antietam the division was transferred to the Si.xth Corps, the Ninety-third becoming a part of 
Rowley's Brigade, Newton's Division. General Wheaton commanded the brigade at Salem Heights, where the 
regiment lost 8 killed, 53 wounded, and 18 missing. In February, 1S64, about 300 reenlisted, and a large num- 
ber of recruits were received. The regiment entered the spring campaign of 1864 with about 750 men; in the 
opening battle at the Wilderness it lost 15 killed and 114 wounded, which was followed the next week by further 
heavy losses at Spotsylvania. It fought under Sheridan in the Valley, and at the Opequon lost 7 killed and 32 
wounded. Returning to Petersburg, it was engaged with severe loss, .March 25, 1865, in the advance of the 
Sixth Corps at the time Fort Stedman was re-captured. Having served through the whole war, it was mustered 
out June 27, 1865.

Notes. — The Ninety-fifth lost six field officers, killed in action ; two colonels, two lieutenant-colonels, a 
major and an adjutant, — a loss in mounted officers, with but one parallel in all the regiments in the war. I 
was raised in Philadelphia, and arrived at Washington in October, 1861. It passed the winter of 1861-2 in 
winter-quarters near Alexandria, Va., and took the field in March, 1862. After taking part in the advance on 
Manassas, it proceeded to the Peninsula, with Newton's Brigade, Franklin's Division, and with this command 
was engaged at West Point. Slocum succeeded to the command of the division, which, under his charge, dis- 
tinguished itself at Gaines's Mill. In that battle Colonel Gosline and Major Wm. B. Hubbs were killed ; the 
regiment lost there 10 killed, 84 wounded, and 18 missing. At Salem Heights the regiment fought in Russell's 
Brigade of Brooks's Division, its losses there amounting to 23 killed, no wounded, and 20 missing; total, 153. 
In this action, Colonel Town, Lieutenant-Colonel Hall, .Adjutant Dunton, and two line officers were killed. 
About 250 men relnlisted, and, a large number of recruits having been received, the Ninety-fifth entered the 
Wilderness campaign with nearly its full complement of men. Lieutenant-Colonel Edward Carroll, the com- 
mandant of the regiment, fell dead in the first day's fighting at the Wilderness. During the fighting at Spot- 
sylvania, it lost 26 killed, 82 wounded, and 27 missing ; and at Cedar Creek, S killed, 27 wounded, and 4 missing.

Notes. — Recruited mostly in Schuylkill County. It left the State in November, 1S61, and, arriving in Vir- 
ginia soon after, was assigned to Slocum's Brigade, Franklin's Division. General Slocum commanded the division 
at (Raines's Mill, where the regiment was engaged and received a gratifying mention in the official leports. 
Loss, at Gaines's ]SI ill, 13 killed, 61 wounded, and 13 missing. It again distinguished itself in the successful 
charge at Crampton's Gap, where ]\Iajor Lewis J. Martin was killed. It sustained the heaviest loss of any 
regiment in that action, its casualties amounting to 20 killed and 70 wounded — fully one-fourth of the 
number engaged. Still harder fighting and greater losses were encountered in 1864, at Spotsylvania, where the 
Ninety-sixth was selected as one of the twelve regiments of the Sixth Corps to take part in Upton's charge ; it 
proved a dearly bought honor, its losses there, and in the other fighting about Spotsylvania, amounting to 31 
killed, 115 wounded, and 32 missing; total, 1 78. During this campaign the regiment was still in the First 
Brigade, First Division, Sixth Corps, General Upton commanding the brigade, and General Wright, the division. 
Subsequently, General Russell succeeded to the command of the division. Not enough of the men reenlisted 
to warrant the continuance of the regimental organization after the expiration of its term of service, which 
occurred September 22, 1864, while in the Shenandoah campaign. The original members of the regiment 
returned to their homes, and the reenlisted veterans, together with the recruits, were transferred to the Ninety- 
fifth Pennsvlvania.

NoTES. — Eight companies were recruited in Chester County, and the others in Delaware. It left the State 
November, 1861, going to Fort Monroe, and thence to Port Royal, S. C. It remained in that Department si.xteen 
months, during which it made several expeditions along the Florida and Georgia coast, and was under fire in some 
minor engagements. It took part in the operations about Charleston Harbor, and in the grand assault on Fort 
Wagner, in which affair it was in Stevenson's Brigade of reserves. In April, 1863, it left Femandina, Fla., and 
sailed for Virginia, where it Joined the Army of the James, — having been assigned to White's (ist) Brigade, 
.Ames's (3d) Division, Tenth Corps. In the fighting at Green Plains, near Bermuda Hundred, May i8th and 
20th, it lost 29 killed, 186 wounded, and 22 captured or missing ; total, 237 ; seven color bearers were shot, and 
Colonel Pennypacker was wounded three times. The regiment occupied an exposed position in the trenches 
before Petersburg, and lost men almost daily during the siege, — in addition to those lost in the fighting at the 
Mine Explosion. It had in the meanwhile been transferred to the Second Division, in which it afterwards re- 
mained without further change. Colonel Pennypacker commanded the brigade at Chafifin's Farm, where he was 
again wounded. He led the brigade, also, in its victorious assault at Fort Fisher, where he received another 
serious wound while planting the colors of the Xinty-seventh on the enemy's inner line of works.

Notes. — The Pennsylvania Roundheads proved on many a hard fought field that they were worthy of their 
nam de guerre, and their ancestral namesakes. Bates, the historian, says that they were recruited in a part of the 
State which was settled by English Roundheads and Scotch-Irish Covenanters. Be that as it may, there was no 
stancher stuff in Cromivell's regiments than in the blue-coated line that dressed on the colors of the Hundredth 
Pennsylvania. They were well officered. Colonel Leasure being a man of remarkable soldierly ability, and 
although in command of the brigade most of the time, the regiment was always ably handled. Lieut. -Col. Dawson 
fell, mortally wounded, in the assault on Petersburg; Lieut. -Col. Pentecost was killed at Fort Stedman ; ^Lijor 
Hamilton and Adjutant Leasure fell in the fighting at the Petersburg Mine. Five line-officers fell at Manassas, 
the casualties in that battle amounting to 15 killed, 117 wounded, and 8 missing. At Spotsylvania it sustained 
a loss of 23 killed, 1 10 wounded, and 2 missing ; total, 135. Like all the Ninth Corps regiinents its service was a 
varied one : it made long jovnncys b\' sea and l.ind. and fouf^'lit its battles in many and widely separated States.

Notes. — Organized at Pittsburg in .August, 1861. Five companies went to Washington that month, the others 
following soon after. It occupied winter-quarters near the Capitol, where the time was spent in drills and light 
duty. It embarked at Alexandria in March, 1862, and proceeded with General McClellan's Army to the Peninsula, 
where it took part in the operations before Yorktown, and did some good fighting at Williamsburg. It fought at 
Fair Oaks, in Peck's Brigade, Couch's Division, Fourth Corps, losing there i J killed, 47 wounded, and 10 missing. 
At Malvern Hill it made a successful charge, in which Major Poland was killed. Immediately after Antietam the 
division was transferred, and became Newton's Division of the Sixth Corps. General Wheaton commanded the 
brigade in the fighting at Marye's Heights and Salem Church, in which the regiment lost i 2 killed, 54 wounded, 
and 10.^ missing or captured. Nearly all the men reenlisted, and a large number of recruits were received, which 
enabled it to take the field in 1864 with full ranks. The regiment encountered its hardest battle at the Wilderness, 
where its casualties amounted to 163 in killed and wounded. Colonel Patterson was among the killed. Lieu- 
tenant-Colonel Mcllwaine lost his life at Cold Harbor, and Major Coleman was killed while leading the regiment 
at Cedar Creek. In the latter action the reaiment lost 12 killed and 80 wounded.

Vorktown.and some skirmishing at Williamsburg — then in Kearny's Division, — it faced the enemy at Fair Oaks, 
in one of the deadliest struggles of the war, winning praise from generals and historians ahke. Its losses at 
Fair Oaks were large — 41 killed, 112 wounded, and 8 missing; total, 161. At Gettysburg, the regiment took 
247 men into action, and lost 8 killed, 1 15 wounded, and 9 missing ; total, 132, or more than half. In April,

Notes. — Recruited in Erie, Warren, and Crawford Counties, and organized at Erie in January, 1862. It 
was quartered in Baltimore during the following March and April. In May it joined Banks's command at Harper's 
Ferry, having been assigned to Prince's Brigade, of .\ugur's Division, in which it fought at Cedar Mountain. The 
regiment was commanded in that battle by Major Walker, its casualties amounting to 7 killed, 74 wounded, and 9 
missing. The division, under General Greene, distinguished itself at Antietam by the tenacity with which it held 
its position near the Dunker Church. The regiment took only 243 men into that action, but lost 26 killed, 76 
wounded, and 8 missing. In March, 1863, the One Hundred and Eleventh was one of ten regiments in the 
.-\rmy of the Potomac, especially mentioned in General Orders as standing best in the inspection reports. In 
September, 1S63, the corps was ordered to Tennessee, and on October 28, 1863, the regiment fought at Wau- 
hatchie, Tenn., where Major Boyle was killed. In the Atlanta campaign its fighting was continuous and severe, 
the hardest battle for the One Hundred and Eleventh occurring at Peach Tree Creek, where Colonel Cobham 
was killed. The regiment marched from .Atlanta to the sea, and while in the Carolinas the One Hundred and 
Ninth Pennsylvania was discontinued, and the men were transferred to its ranks.

Notes. — Pennsylvania furnished a regiment for the famous Irish Brigade ; it was the One Hundred and 
Sixteenth. It was recruited in Philadelphia in the summer of 1862, and leaving the State in September, pro- 
ceeded to Virginia. In October it joined the main army, then at Harper's Ferry, where it was assigned to the 
Irish Brigade, Hancock's Division. It took part in the bloody assault on Marye's Heights, where each man in 
the brigade placed a sprig of green in his cap just before the charge, and where so many of them fell in front of 
the enemy's works. The official reports state that this regiment had 247 men in line that day; their loss was 
7 killed, 67 wounded, and 14 missing; all three of its field-officers were wounded. After this battle the regi- 
ment was consolidated into a battalion of four companies, as it had become much reduced in numbers. At 
Chancellorsville the regiment received words of praise from Hancock for gallant services rendered on that field. 
In the spring of 1864, six new companies were recruited, and the old battalion companies were filled up to their 
maximum. Three of the new companies were from Pittsburg ; they were raised by Lieutenant- Colonel Richard 
C. Dale, who was killed at Spotsylvania. From the Wilderness to Appomattox, the One Hundred and Sixteenth 
was engaged in all the' battles of the First Division, and proved itself worthy of a place in the brigade. Colonel 
Mulholland, who commanded the battalion in 1863, led the reorganized regiment in most of its battles, and was 
badly wounded at Spotsylvania.

Notes. — Known in the Corps as " the regiment that fought at Shepherdstown." The One Hundred and 
Eighteenth had been in service less than three weeks when it marched on the field at Antietam. It was in the 
reserves there, but in the pursuit succeeding that victory it was given a place in the advance, and crossed the 
river at Shepherdstown Ford, close upon the enemy's rear. Advancing too far without proper support, it was 
attacked at a disadvantage by overpowering numbers, and forced back to the river, where, in addition to its pre- 
vious loss, it had to recross the ford under a severe fire. Its casualties in this affair were 63 killed, loi wounded, 
and 105 missing or prisoners, out of the 800, or thereabouts, who were engaged. Five officers were killed, and 
Colonel Prevost was wounded while waving the colors to encourage his men. This regiment was raised under 
the auspices of the Philadelphia Corn Exchange, which furnished the necessary aid and means ; in axidition, it 
paid a bounty of ten dollars to each recruit. The One Hundred and Eighteenth was under a heavy fire at 
Fredericksburg, then in Barnes's Brigade, its losses there amounting to 5 killed, 56 wounded, and 37 missing. 
At Gettysburg, the division was commanded by General Barnes, and the brigade by Colonel Tilton of the 
Twenty-second Mass. During the campaigns of 1864-65 it was in Bartlett's (3d) Brigade, Griffin's (1st) 
Division, and during that time was engaged in all the battles of the Fifth Corps. It was mustered out June 1st, 
1865, having received upon its return a flattering reception from the Corn Exchange.

Notes. — Recruited at I'liiladclphia in August, 1862. It arrived at Washington, September 1st, and after a 
month's stay proceeded to Harper's Ferry where it joined the .Army of the Potomac. It was there assigned to 
General Calvin E. Pratt's Brigade of Howe's Division. The regiment was under fire at the first battle of Fred- 
ericksburg, 1862, but was not actively engaged. In the second battle — May 3, 1863 — it took part in the 
engagement at Salem Church, where it sustained a loss of lo killed, 74 wounded, and 38 missing, a total of 122 
out of 432 present for duty. It was at that time in Russell's Brigade, Brooks's Division. In the affair at Rappa- 
hannock Station the brigade made a successful bayonet charge, capturing the works, together with a large number 
of prisoners, flags, and cannon. The loss in the One Hundred and Nineteenth was 7 killed, 37 wounded, and i 
missing ; Colonel EUmaker led tiie brigade, General Russell being in command of the division. The regiment 
was hotly engaged at Spotsylvania, being one of the picked regiments in Upton's storming party on May loth ; 
on the 1 2th it participated in the bloody contest at the "Angle " where Major Tniefit and Captain Warner, the 
regimental commandants were killed. The loss at the Wilderness and Spotsylvania — May 5th to 12th — was 
231 killed and wounded, out of about 400 effectives that crossed the Rapidan. It also suffered a heavy percentage 
of loss in the Shenandoah Valley, its previous casualties having left but few in line. Early in the spring of 1863, 
the regiment was transferred to the Third Brigade, First Division, in which command it remained without further 
change. This division was commanded, successively, by Cionerals Brooks, Wright, Russell, and Wheaton ; the 
brigade by Crcncrals Russell, F.uslis, and Edwards.

Notes. — This gallant little regiment sustained a heavy loss in proportion to its numbers. .At no time did it 
have a full complement of men, yet it distinguished itself on all occasions by its efficiency. It was recruiteil 
mostly in Philadelphia, and was organized there in September, 1862. It joined McClellan's .Army in October, 
and was placed in McCandless's Brigade, Meade's Division, Pennsylvania Reserves. With this command it fought 
in its initiatory battle at Fredericksburg, with a loss of 14 killed, 1 14 wounded, and 10 missing; total, 138. The 
brigade, under Colonel Chapman Biddle, was engaged at Gettysburg in the battle of the first day, its operations 
being conspicuous in the history of that day. The regiment marched on that field with only 263 officers and 
men; of this number, 12 were killed, 106 wounded, and 6( missing or captured; many of the prisoners were 
wounded before they were captured. Upon the transfer of the First to the Fifth Corps, the regiment was placed 
in Roy Stone's Brigade, of Wadsworth's Division, It had received no recruits, and entered the spring campaign 
of 1864 with only 200 men. It fought in all the battles of the Fifth Corps, and in October the morning report 
showed only 89 men present for duty. In the spring of 1865 it entered on the final campaign in Coulter's (3d) 
Brigade, Crawford's (3d) Division, Fifth Corps, in which command it fought at Five Forks, and was present at 
the last surrender.

Notes. — Recruited principally in Pittsburg and its vicinity. It left the State September 2, 1862, and went 
to Washington. It joined the army just before the battle of Antietam, and was, soon after, assigned to Rowley's 
(3d) Brigade, Newton's (3d) Division, Si.xth Corps. It was under fire with slight loss at Fredericksburg, but in 
the second battle on that field — 1863 — it was hotly engaged at Salem Church, where it lost 1 1 killed, 54 
wounded, and 11 missing. The regiment entered upon the campaign of 1864, in Getty's Division, and at the 
Wilderness encountered its hardest fighting; it lost there 190 in killed and wounded, besides several who were 
missing ; Major Snyder fell from his horse, killed while cheering his men. At Cold Harbor the One Hundred and 
Thirty-ninth took part in the storming of the works, where Lieutenant-Colonel Moody and two line officers were 
killed. In the final and victorious assault on the works at Petersburg, the regiment took a prominent part, and the 
Color- Sergeant, David W. Young, was one of three color-bearers in the army — one in each corps — who received 
a congratulatory letter from General Grant, complimenting them as being the " three soldiers most conspicuous 
for gallantry in the final assault." Each letter was accompanied by a large sum of money which had been raised 
for that purpose by patriotic citizens.

Notes. — The One Hundred and Fortieth sustained the greatest percentage of loss in action of any regiment 
from Pennsylvania. It was recruited in the western counties, and left the State September 10, 1S62. It was 
stationed awhile in Maryland, and during the following winter it occupied quarters at Falmouth, Va., having been 
assigned to Zook's (3d) Brigade, Hancock's (ist) Division. On April 28, 1863,11 broke camp to march to 
Chancellorsville. In that, its first battle, it lost 7 killed, 28 wounded, and 9 missing. General Caldwell, who 
succeeded Hancock, commanded the division at Gettysburg. .Arriving on that field, the division moved into the 
" whirling vortex " of death in the wheat-field where it stubbornly contested the Confederate advance until half 
the division lay dead or wounded on the field. General Zook was killed ; Colonel Roberts, who succeeded him 
in command of the brigade, also fell dead. The loss of the regiment was 37 killed, 144 wounded, and 60 miss- 
ing ; a total of 241 out of the 5S9 who were engaged. Desperate as the fighting had been at Gettysburg, the 
regiment encountered at Spotsylvania an equally heavy loss, and with less men in line. It was engaged in Han- 
cock's grand charge on May 1 2th, and in all the other actions of the Second Corps about Spotsylvania, its losses 
there amounting to 34 killed, 126 wounded, and 9 missing. General Miles commanded the division at Farm- 
ville, where the Second Corps and the One Hundred and Fortieth fought their last battle. In this final engage- 
ment the regiment met with a severe loss ; two officers were among the killed, falling with the goal of a safe 
return full in sight.

Notes. — Seven companies were recruited in Bradford County, two in Susquehanna, and one in Wayne. It 
left Harrisburg, August 30, 1862, and active .service commenced at once. It was assigned to Robinson's (ist) 
Brigade, Birney's (ist) Division, Third Corps, in which it fought at Fredericksburg, where it was engaged mostly 
as a battery support. At Chancellorsville it charged the advancing lines of the enemy, holding them in check 
until nearly surrounded, when it retired slowly and in good order; its losses were 2^ killed, 152 wounded, and 
60 missing; total, 235 out of 419 in action. Its ranks were so reduced by death, wounds and sickness, that only 
198 answered to the morning roll-call as it stood in line, ready to enter the battle of Gettysburg. It fought 
there in the Peach Orchard, losing 25 killed, 103 wounded, and 21 missing, a terrible percentage ; Major Israel 
P. Spaulding was mortally wounded in that battle. In 1864, the One Hundred and Forty-first, with its di\ision, 
was transferred to the Second Corjis, General Birney retaining command of the division. Though small in num- 
bers, the regiment took a gallant part in all the subsequent battles of the Second Corps, its losses being severe 
in proportion to its strength. Lieutenant-Colonel Guy H. Watkins, an intrepid and skillful officer, was killed 
while leading his men in the assault at Petersburg, June 18, 1864.

Notes. — It took the field in September, 1862, and was attached soon after to the Second Brigade, Meade's 
Division, Pennsylvania Reserves, F"irst Corps. It marched with them to Fredericksburg, taking part in their 
gallant but unsuccessful battle on that field ; it went into action 550 strong, losing 16 killed, 182 wounded, and 
45 missing ; many of the latter are missing yet, all of them having been left on the field, dead or badly wounded ; 
Major John Bradley was mortally wonnded in that action. The Reserves were withdrawn from the field in Feb- 
ruary, 1863, on account of their severe losses, whereupon the One Hundred and Forty-second was assigned to 
Rowley's (ist) Brigade, Doubleday's (3d) Division. At Gettysburg, the First Corps opened the batde and did 
some of the best fighting on that famous field. The One Hundred and Forty-second held a position in the front 
line and on the left, where it received a hot fire ; its loss was 13 killed, 128 wounded, and 70 missing ; total, 211, 
nearly all of whom fell in the first day's battle. Colonel Cummins being among the killed. In April, 1864, 
Colonel McCalmont, an officer of superior merit, was detailed on special duty ; he subsequently became Colonel 
of the Two Hundred and Eighth, and was placed in command of a brigade. He was succeeded by Major 
Warren, who led the regiment in all the subsequent battles of the Fifth Corps, to which it was transferred in April, 
1864. On joining the Fifth Corps, it was assigned to Stone's (3d) Brigade, of Wadsworth's (4th) Division, a division 
composed entirely of First Corps veterans. The regiment served also in Chamberlain's (ist) Brigade of Griffin's 
(ist) Division, and again in Crawford's (3d) Division, Fifth Corps.

Notes. — Recruited principally in Luzerne County, in October, 1862. It arrived at Washington in November, 
where it remained on light duty until February, 1863 ; it w.as then ordered to the front and assigned to Colonel 
Roy Stone's Brigade, Doubleday's Division, First Corps. .Mthough present at Chancellorsville, it did its first fight- 
ing at Gettysburg. There it encountered hot work in the battle of the first day, where, out of 465 present, it lost 
13 killed, 1 28 wounded, and 70 missing; many of the latter, as afterward ascertained, were killed. W'hen the 
brigade was ordered to retire the color-sergeant refused to leave until it was too late, and fell dead while defi- 
antly waving his colors in the face of the advancing enemy; the flag, however, was not lost, but was carried 
safely from the field. In September, 363 recruits were received, which brought its effective strength up to 500 
muskets or more. On May 3d, 1864, it started on the Wilderness campaign, then in Wadsworth's (4th) Division 
(afterwards Culler's), Fifth Corps, with Colonel Roy Stone still in command of the brigade. At the Wilderness,

Notes. — Six companies were recruited in P>ie County ; the others, in Western Pennsylvania. Colonel Brown 
had already served with distinction in the Eighty-third Pennsylvania. The regiment left the State September 12th, 
arriving five days later on the field at Antietam. While at Harper's Ferry it was assigned to Caldwell's (ist) 
Brigade, Hancock's (ist) Division, Second Corps. Al Fredericksburg it took eight companies into action, two 
companies having been detailed on the skirmish line. The eight companies lost 34 killed, 152 wounded, and 43 
missing; a total of 229 out of 505 in action; the missing ones were wounded or killed. Nine of the line 
officers lost their lives in this bloody assault, and Colonel Brown received a serious woun<l. .At Chancellorsville. 
Major John W. Patton was mortally wounded, and 1 1 2 of the men were captured at an outpost, having been left 
behind by the retreating army. The regiment fought at Gettysburg in the Fourth Brigade (Brooke's), taking 
part in the famous contest in the wheat field, where, with about 200 men in line. Us casualties amounted to 10 
killed, 66 wounded, and 8 missing. During the winter of 1863-4 the One Hundred and Forty-fifth occupied a 
camp, well-built, which combined a neat, tasteful appearance with substantial warmth and comfort. Fresh 
recrtiits were received and drilled, and it took the field in May, 1864, in efficient condition. A large number of 
the men were captured at Petersburg in June, 1864, which with previous losses left but few in line at the subse- 
quent actions in which the Division was engaged. Its casualties at Spotsylvania were 23 killed, 103 wounded, 
and 46 captured or missing.

Notes. — Organized at Harrisburg, in September, 1862, seven of the companies having been recruited in 
Centre County. At the request of the line officers, James A. Beaver, Lieutenant-Colonel of the Forty-fifth 
Pennsylvania, was appointed Colonel. After three months of service in Maryland, it joined the Army of the 
Potomac, and was assigned to Caldwell's (ist) Brigade, Hancock's (ist) Division, Second Corps; it remained in 
this division (First) during its entire service. Its first battle occurred at Chancellorsville, where it lost 31 killed, 
1 19 wounded, and 14 missing. Colonel Beaver being among the severely wounded. General Caldwell com- 
manded the division at Gettysburg, and Colonel Cross ( bifth New Hampshire), the brigade; the loss of the 
regiment was 19 killed, 101 wounded, and 5 missing. It went into winter quarters ( 1863-4) near Stevensburg, 
Va., receiving in the meanwhile 2S3 conscripts and 120 recruits, a needed accession. It was prominently 
engaged at Po River and Spotsylvania, where it lost 33 killed, 235 wounded, and 33 missing; total, 301, 
the greatest loss of any infantry regiment at S])otsyi\ania. Colonel Beaver, while in command of a brigade, 
was severely wounded at Petersburg, June 16, 1864. He rejoined his regiment just as it was entering the fight at 
Ream's Station, where he was again wountied, and suffered amjjutation of a leg. In September, 1864, the War 
Department ordered that one regiment in each division be armed with breech-loading rifles; the One Hundred 
and Forty-eighth was selected by (jeneral Hancock as llie deser\ing one in ils division to be thus armed.

Notes. — The One Hundred and Forty-niiith and its companion regiment,- the One Hundred and Fiftieth of 
the same brigade, were also known as "Hucktail" regiments, each man wearing a bucktail in his cap in imitation 
uf the famous regiment in the Pennsylvania Reserves. The men were recruited in August, 1862, from the forests 
and mountain districts of the State, and proved worthy of their adopted name. Roy Stone, Major of the original 
Bucktails, and an officer of more than ordinary ability, was appointed Colonel. He was, soon after, given a 
brigade of Pennsylvania troops which included the two new Bucktail regiments. The brigade was only slightly 
engaged at Chancellorsville, but at Gett)sburg it took a meritorious part in the battle of the first day. It was 
then in Doubleday's (3d) Division, First Corps ; its casualties on that field were 66 killed and mortally wounded, 
159 wounded, and iii captured or missing; total, 336. Colonel Stone being in comman I of the brigade at 
Gettysburg, Lieutenant-Colonel Walton Dwight led the regiment; both fell severely wounded. In 1864, Stone's 
brigade formed a part of Wadsworth's Division, Fifth Corps. In the battle of the vVilderness May 5, 1864, the 
regiment lost 1 1 killed, 109 wounded, and 95 captured or missing ; and at Spotsylvania, 12 killed, 84 wounded, 
and 3 missing; many of the missing never returned. In February, 1865, the regiment was ordered to Elmira, 
where it remained on duty at the prison camp until the close of the war.

Notes. — Organized in St-ptfuiber, 1S62, as one of the regiments lor Roy Stone's Piucktail Brigade. Lang- 
home Wister, an officer in tlte old Bucktails, was appointed t_'uloncl. Upon its arrival at Washington the regi- 
ment was ordered on guard iluty in and about the city. Company K was stationed at the Soldier's Home, Mr. 
Lincoln's summer residence, where it remained on duty as a body-guard to the President during its entire term 
of service, the One Hundred and Fiftieth, consequently, taking only nine companies to the field ; its percentage 
of killed was far above the average, although the number killed was not numerically large. .'Vt Gettysburg the 
regiment took 417 officers and men into action, losing 29 killed, 151 wounded, and 84 missing; total, 264. 
Both Wister and Huidekoper were severely wounded in that battle, the latter losing an arm : the regiment was 
in Stone's Brigade of Doubleday's Division, and fought on the Chambersburg Pike in the first day's battle; it 
was ably handled by its field officers, and rendered good seivice. Stone's Brigade "•as transferred in 1S64 to the 
F'ifth Corps, and placed in Wadsworth's (4th) Division. In June it was transferred to Griffin's (ist) Division. 
Col. Stone was disabled in the battle of the Wilderness, anil was succeeded in his command of the brigade by 
General Bragg of Wisconsin, an able and gallant officer of the famous Iron Brigade. The One Hundred and 
Fiftieth fought its last battle on February 5, 1865, at Dahney's Mills. It was then ordered to Elmira, in companv 
with the One Hundred and Forty-ninth, where it performed guartl duty at the prison camp until mustered out.

Notes. — Recruited at Pittsburg and vicinity in August, 1S62, in response to the President's second call for 
troops. It arrived at Washington in September, and was assigned to Allabach's (2d) Brigade, Humphreys's (3d) 
Division, Fifth Corps. It was engaged in Humphreys's bloody assault on Marye's Heights, where it lost 6 killed, 
58 wounded, and 4 missing ; the other regiments of the brigade suffered an unusually severe loss. Upon the 
muster-out of the other regiments in the brigade (nine months men), which occurred soon after Chancellorsville, 
the One Hundretl and Fifty-fifth was placed in Weed's (3d) Brigade, .Ayres's (2d) Division. General Weed was 
killed at Gettysburg, on Little Round Top, while seizing that position with his brigade In 1864, the regiment 
was in Ayres's (ist) Brigade, Griffin's (ist) Division. It was known as the Regular i5rigade, as the Regulars 
were at that time massed in this one brigade. The regiment took a [irominent part in all the battles of the 
Fifth Corps in 1S64-5, and distinguished itself particularly at the assault on Petersburg, at Peeble's Farm, and at 
the Quaker Road. Colonel Pearson, who was in command of the brigarle part of the time, was twice brevetted 
for gallantry, while the regiment received complimentary notice from headquarters. In the final campaign the 
One Hundred and p-ifty-fifth was in Bartlett's (3d) Brigade of the same division. It was in line at Appomattox, 
and was pressing the enemy when the token of surrender was disjilayed.

Notes. — The One Hundred and Eighty-eighth was organized in April, 1864, from the surplus members of 
the 'J'hird Pennsylvania Heav\- .Artillery. It took the field immediately with about 900 men, a large proportion of 
whom were veterans who hatl served in other regiments. After the war had ended, its enrollment was increased 
by an accession of men from the One Hundred and Ninety-ninth Pennsylvania, which had been mustered out, 
and its recruits turned over to the One Hundred and Eighty-eighth. The losses in action of the One Hundred 
and Eighty-eighth fell entirely (jn its original members, its actual percentage of killed being consequently much 
larger than indicated above. 'i"he regiment left Fort Monroe, where it was organized, — the Third Artillery 
being there on garrison duty, — and joined the .Army of the Jaines at Yorkt(»vn in April, 1864, just prior to its 
departure for Bermuda Hundred. Fighting commenced iinmediately on its arrival there, and at Drewry's 
Bluff, a battle fought in a dense fog, the regiment was engaged in a se\ere contest. Two weeks later, the 
Eighteenth Corps was moved by transports to Wliite House Landing on the York, from whence it marched to 
Cold Harbor, where it participated in the ill-advised and disastrous assaults at that place, losing 19 killed, 144 
wounded, and 8 missing ; fi\e officers were among the killed. At Fort Harrison the regiment, then in Stan- 
nard's Division, took part in that gallant and successful assault. In December, the Corps having been discon- 
tinued, it was assigned to Roberts's (3d) Brigade. Devens's (31!) Division, Twenty-fourth Corps. It was mustered 
out on December 14, 1S65.

Notes. — Volunteered originally in the three months service in the beginning of the war, and, at the expira- 
tion of that term, was reorganized as a three years regiment. It reinlisted in 1864, the first regiment in the 
Army of the Potomac to do so. Leaving its State, October 20, 1861, it proceeded by steamer to Fort Monroe, 
where it remained encamped until May, 1862, when it was ordered to Norfolk on provost duty, and thence, after 
two months, to Suffolk. In September it joined McClellan's army, then in Maryland, and was placed in Max 
Weber's (3d) Brigade, French's (3d) Division, Second Corps. The regiment was engaged at .Antietam, where, 
in its first battle, it acquitted itself with honor; its casualties on that bloody field amounted to 31 killed, 182 
wounded, and 17 missing; a total of 230 out of 650 engaged. Colonel .Andrews led the brigade at Fredericks- 
burg, and Major Smyth, the regiment ; its loss in that battle was 10 killed, 74 wounded, and 9 missing. At Get- 
tysburg, the regiment was in the Second Brigade ; Colonel Smyth commanded the brigade, and General Alex. 
Hays the division. Smyth's men contributed materially to the repulse of Pickett's charge ; they were in 
a position behind a low, heavy stone wall, but, disdaining its shelter, rose to their feet to meet the charge, 
and fired with coolness and accuracy ; the men in the rear rank had accumulated a supply of extra rifles, already 
loaded, which they passed to the front rank as fast as they could be fired. The loss there was 10 killed, 54 
wounded, and 13 missing. Smyth was promoted Brigadier, and was killed at Farmville, in the last batde of his 
Corps.

Notes. — Mustered into the United States service in May, t S6 i , fur three years. It was stationed at various 
places in Maryland during the ensuing year, doing guard duty most of the time along the Upper Potomac. In 
March, 1862, it crossed into Virginia with Banks's troops, and moved tip the Shenandoah Valley. The regiment 
was stationed at Front Royal, Va., where, on May 23, i.S(.2, it \\as surrotinded and cut off by Jackson's rapid 
advance, and forced to surrender, losing 14 killed, 43 wotiniled, and 535 captured; Colonel Kenly was seriously 
wounded. Their gallant opposition retarded Jackson's advance, giving Banks ample time to withdraw in safety 
from the Valley. The regiment was i)aroled in SejUember, and two months later it was declared exchanged. In 
the meantime the small part of the regiment which had e.sctiped capture, together with some recniits, preserved 
the organization, and was assigned to the Maryland Brigade (First, Fourth, Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth Mary- 
land). In March, 1S63, this brigade was assigned to Kelly's Division, Eighth Corps, and ser\ed in the West 
Virginia campaign. Upon Lee's invasion, the brigade retired into Maryland, where, on July 10, 1863. it was 
assigned to the First Corps. In March, 1 864. it was transferred to the Fifth Corps. The regiment reenlisted, and 
on its return from its veteran furlough the battalion of veterans arrived at the Harris Farm just in time to enter 
that action, its loss there amounting to 6 killed, 29 woundcil, and 2 missing ; a heavy percentage of loss as only 
a small nmnber were engaged. Colonel Dushane was killed at the Weldon Road, and Colonel Wilson fell at 
Dabney's Mills.

XoTEs. — The Sixth was organi/t-cl in .August, 1862, uuiler the President's second call for troops, six of the 
companies coming from Baltimore. Leaving that < ity on September 79, 1862, it proceeiled to Williamsport, on 
the Upper Potomac, where it joined the Maryland Brigade. It left that brigade in March, 1863, and became a 
part of the Third Brigade, Second Division (Milroy's), Eighth Corps. This division retired before Lee's advance 
to Gettysburg, but not without some hard fighting at Winchester, Va.,in which the Sixth was engaged ; it then 
moved into Maryland, where it was subsequently assigned to the Third Corps, becoming the Third Division. 

The regiment was in the Third Coqis at Mine Run, in which affair it took a prominent part, being then in 
Keifer's (2d) Brigade, Carr's (3d) Division, Third Corps. The principal engagement of the Mine Run campaign 
occurred at Locust Grove, a fight which devolved almost wholly on Carr's Division, and largely on the Sixth 
Maryland. In March, 1864, the entire division was transferred to the Sixth Corps, the regiment becoming a 
part of the Second Brigade (Col. B. P". Smith's). Upon its transfer to the Sixth Corps, the division was placed 
under the coinmand of General Ricketts. Colonel Howard resigned May 5. i S63, and was succeeded by Colonel 
Horn, who resigned in February, 1S65. 

The Sixth fought with signal gallantry in tiie battles of the Wilderness and Cold Harbor, its losses in the 
former action being unusually severe. On July 6, 1864, the division was ordered on transports at City Point, Va., 
and sailed for Baltimore to meet Early's invasion of Maryland. Owing to delay in transportation, the regiment 
did not arrive in time to participate in the battle of the Monocacy, but in time to cover the retreat of Ricketts's 
Division. General Ricketts was wounded at Cedar Creek, and was succeeded by General Seymour The 
regiment did some good fighting ia the Valley and, also, i:i the final battles of the war. It was mustered ou/ 
June 20, 1865.

Notes. — M Gettysburg, the Seventh West Virginia, under command of Colonel Jonathan Lockwood, 
charged and drove back the Seventh Virginia (Confederate), wounding and capturing its Colonel ; also, a Lieu- 
tenant Lockwood, a nephew of Lieutenant-Colonel Lockwood, who was wounded. Becoming much reduced in 
numbers, it was consolidated, on September 5, 1863, into four companies, the enrollment given above being the 
number enrolled up to that time ; three new companies were added in March, 1865. As an acknowledgment of 
the superior qualities of the Battalion, it was furnished, in 1S64, with Henry rifles — sixteen shooters. The Seventh 
was organized in August, 1861, serving in West Virginia and the Shenandoah Valley until May, 1862, when it was 
assigned to Kimball's Brigade, which joined McClellan's army at Harrison's Landing, just after the battle of 
Malvern Hill. At Antietam, the regiment lost 29 killed and 116 wounded ; no missing. In that battle. Colonel 
Snider and Lieutenant-Colonel Lockwood had their horses killed under them, and three color bearers were 
killed. Its casualties at Gettysburg were 5 killed, 41 wounded, and i missing. It recnlisted and returned to 
Wheeling on its veteran furlough in Febmary, 1864, taking the field again in May, 1864, in Carroll's (3d) Bri- 
gade, Gibbon's (2d) Division, Second Corps. Subsequently, this brigade was commanded by General Thomas 
.^. Smyth, and the division by General William Hays. The Seventh was mustered out July i, 1865, having 
served with credit to itself and honor to its State.

Notes. — Recruited in .April, 1861, for the three months ser\-ice, but before the regiment was fully organized 
and equipped, the call for three-years men was made, whereupon it volunteered for three years and was mustered 
in on the 21st of June It served in West Virginia until March, 1862, when it moved with Shields's Division up the 
Shenandoah Valley, and participated in the battle of Kernstown, where it lost 18 killed and 32 wounded ; also. 
at Port Republic, where it lost 4 killed, 63 woimded, and 197 captured or missing. M Cedar Mountain, it

Notes. — One of the finest regiments in the service. It was raised in Northern Ohio, with rendezvous at 
Cleveland, and was composed of exceptionally good material. Its ranks included men of culture and good social 
position, — clergymen, students, teachers, bankers, farmers, and mechanics. They enlisted promptly at the first 
news of war, the regiment oiganizing in April for the three months' service, but entering the three years' service, 
almost to a man, when the second call for troops was made. It left the State June 26, 1861, and proceeded to 
West Virginia. While encamped by itself at Cross Lanes, \V. Va.. it was attacked by a large force under General 
Floyd ; the regiment made an obstinate defense, but was driven from the field with a severe loss, many of the 
men being captured. The principal losses of the Seventh were, — at Kernstown, 20 killed, 62 wounded, and 10 
missing; at Port Republic, 10 killed, 55 wounded, and 10 missing; at Cedar Mountain, 31 killed, 149 wounded, 
and 2 missing, out of 307 present; at .Antietam, 5 killed, and 33 wounded; at Chancellorsville, 16 killed, 62 
wounded, and 21 missing; and at Ringgold, Ga., 16 killed, and 58 wounded, out of 206 present. At Ring- 
gold, Colonel Creighton, Lieutenant-Colonel Orrin J. Crane, Adjutant Baxter, and two Lieutenants were killed, 
while the remaining officers, with one exception, were all wounded. At Kernstown, the Seventh was in Shields's 
Division ; General Augur commanded the division at Cedar Mountain, General Greene at Antietam, and General 
(ieary in its subsequent battles. While on the .\tlanta campaign, on Jtme 24, 1864, the Seventh received notice 
that its enlistment had expired, and was ordere<l home. The recruits were transferred to the Fifth Ohio.

Notes. — The Eighth, under command of Lieutenant-Colonel Sawyer, distinguished it.self at Gettysburg by 
its effective service at an important point on the line. On the afternoon of the second day's battle it drove the 
Confederate Sharpshooters out of a cut on the Emmettsburg Road, at a point in front of Hays's Division. This 
advanced point, between the lines, was held by the regiment without leaving it until the close of the battle on 
the next day ; by changing front, this advanced position enabled the Eighth to strike Pettigrew's Division in its 
flank, as it fell back at the time of Pickett's repulse, the regiment capturing three stands oi colors and a large 
number of prisoners. In seizing this point on the Emmettsburg Road, and in defending it against the enemy's 
skirmish line during these two days, the regiment lost 18 killed, 83 wounded, ami i missing, out of 209 present 
for duty. The F^ighth Ohio organized in April, 1861, as a three months regiment, but reiinlisted soon after for 
three years. It served in West Virginia until March, 1862, when it moved with Shields's Division up the Shen- 
andoah, fighting at the battle of Kernstown, where it lost i i killed, 41 wounded, and i missing. In July it 
joined the Army of the Potomac at Harrison's Landing, where it was assigned to Kimball's (ist) Brigade, 
French's (3d) Division, Second Corps. At Antietam, the regiment lost ^2 killed, and 129 wounded; at F'red- 
ericksburg, 6 killed, and 27 wounded. While on the Wilderness campaign the lughth was in ( arruil's (3d) 
llrigade, Cibbon's (2(1) Division, Second Corps. Ordered home June 25, 1864, fur muster-out.

Notes. — Recruited at Toledo, in .April, 1861, in response to the first call for troops, its first enlistment being 
for three months. It served its three months in West Virginia, during which it fought in some minor engage- 
ments. Upon its return to Toledo it reassembled after a short furlough and volunteered for three years, with but 
little change in the organization. Leaving Toledo, August 24, i86r, it proceeded to Kentucky, where it was 
assigned to Manson's Brigade, and was engaged for several months in the various movements against the Confed- 
erate forces. In March, 1862, it marched with Buell's army to reenforce Grant, but the Fourteenth did not 
arrive at Shiloh until the fighting was over. .After participating in the Siege of Corinth, it marched with the 
.Army of the Ohio on its arduous campaigns in Tennessee and Kentucky. .At Perryville it was in Fry's Brigade 
of Schoepf s Division, but was not engaged, after which the brigade went into winter quarters at Gallatin, Tenn. 
.At Chickamauga, the regiment was in Croxton's (2d) Brigade, Brannan's (3d) Division, Fourteenth Corps, los- 
ing 35 killed, 167 wounded, and 43 missing, out of 449 engaged. During the .Atlanta campaign the regiment 
served in Este's (3d) Brigade, Baird's (3d) Division, Fourteenth Corps. This brigade distinguished itself, par- 
ticularly, at Jonesboro, where it carried the enemy's works by assault, losing one-third of its number within a few 
minutes. Among the killed were several men of the Fourteenth whose term of service had expired, but who 
volunteered to go into this action. The regiment having rei'nlisted, remained in the Fourteenth Corps until the 
(lose of the war.

Notes. — Organized in May, I1S61, as a three months regiment, serving in West Virginia, where it participated 
in the actions of Phillippi, and Carrick's Ford. Upon the expiration of its three months term, it returned to 
Columbus, O., where it volunteered for three years, leaving the State on October 4th. Proceeding to Kentucky, it 
was assigned, soon after, to McCook's Division of Buell's Army, with which it marched to the battlefield of 
Shiloh, where it lost 7 killed, 66 wounded, and 2 missing. It was present at the Siege of Corinth, and participated 
in the long marches in the summer and fall of 1862, its next battle occurring at Stone's River, at which time it 
was in Willich's (ist) Brigade, Johnson's (2d) Division, McCook's Corps; loss, 17 killed, 70 wounded, and 128 
captured or missing. .After this battle the regiment lay at Murfreesboro until June, 1863, when it joined in the 
forward movement of the .\rmy, and was engaged at Liberty Gap, losing there 8 killed, and 24 wounded. At 
Chickamauga, it lost 10 killed, 77 wounded, and ^^^ missing. .About 350 of the men reCnlisted in January, 1864, 
and received a veteran furlough, returning with a large number of recruits, which swelled the ranks to over 900 
effectives. In October, 1863, the regiment was assigned to Willich's (ist) Brigade, Wood's (3d) Division, Fourth 
Corps. While on the Atlanta campaign, this brigade (Gibson's) was hotly engaged at Pickett's Mills, Ga., the 
regiment losing there 19 killed, 64 wounded, and 19 missing, many of the latter being killed or wounded. 
The Fifteenth took part in the Franklin-Nashville campaign, after which it accompanied the Fourth Corps to 
Texas, where it was mustered out in December, 1865.

Notes — Organized as a three months regiment, which reorganized for three years. While in the three 
months service it had a sharp fight at Scarey Creek, W. Va, ']"he three years regiment left the State October 2, 
1861, and moved into Kentiuky, where it was assigned to Sill's Brigade, General O. M. Mitchel's Division. It 
accompanied Mitchel on his man h to Huntsville, Ala., and on the various campaigns which culminated in the 
battle of Stone's River, December 31, 1862 ; at that battle it was in Miller's (3d) Brigade, Negley's (2d) Divi- 
sion, Fourteenth Corps, its losses aggregating 24 killed, 109 wounded, and 26 missing. The regiment remained 
at Murfreesboro from January, 1863, until June, when it moved southward with the Army, it? next engagement 
occurring at Chickamauga, where it lost 28 killed, 84 wounded, and 131 captured or missing, — Lieutenant-Colo- 
nel D. M. Stoughton, the regimental cominandant, being among the killed. At that time the Twenty-first was 
anned with Colt's revolving rifles, and inflicted a severe loss on the enemy, the men expending over 43,000 
rounds of ammunition in that action. The regiment reenlisted, was furloughed, and on its return marched with 
the -Vrmy on the Atlanta Campaign, it being then in Neibling's (3d) Brigade, Johnson's (xst) Division, Fotirteenth 
Corps. Its hardest fight, during that campaign, occurred July 9th, at Vining's Station, where the regiment, 
under cominand of Major McMahon, was ordered to dri\ e in the enemy from his outer line of rifle-pits ; it was 
done successfully, but with a loss of 15 killed, and 39 wounded. The regiment accompanied its corps on the

Notes. — .A regiment remarkable for the famous names of its various commanders, while others with brilliant 
National reputations also appeared on its rolls in subordinate capacities. It was niustered-in for three years, on 
the I ith of June, 18C1, at Columbus, O., leaving the State in July, and proceeding to West Virginia, where for a 
time it was divided — the right wing, under Lieutenant-Colonel Stanley Matthews, operating against the guerrilla 
hands, while the other five companies were stationed at Weston. Having reunited, the regiment was present at 
the battle of Carnifex Ferry, and at several minor affairs, remaining in AVest Virginia until September, 1862, when 
the Kanawha Division joined McL'lellan's Army and was assigned temporarily to the Ninth Corps. Under com- 
mand of Lieutenant-Colonel R. R. Hayes, the Twenty-third opened the battle of South Mountain, where its 
gallant commander was severely wounded, the loss of tiie regiment aggregating 32 killed, 95 wounded, and 3 
missing. Three days later, at .Antietam, it lost 8 killed, 59 wounded, and 2 missing; it was then in Scammon's 
Brigade. Soon after the battle of .Antietam the Kanawha Division returned to A\'est Virginia, making its winter- 
(luarters at the Falls of the Great Kanawha, after which it encamped at Charlestown, W. Va., during the year 1863, 
and in the spring of 1S64. The Twenty-third fought at Cloyd's Mountain, and then served during the summer of 
1864 in Crook's Corp.s, of Hunter's .Army. In the fall of 1864 it participated, with the Eighth Corps (Crook's), 
in all of Sheridan's battles in the .Shenandoaii Valley, after which it returned to West Virginia where it remained 
until July, 1865, when it was mustered out.

the main armies, and sustained a heavy loss in action, most of which occurred in battles seldom mentioned in 
the history of the war. The Thirty-fourth was organized at Camp Lucas, Clermont County, during the summer 
of 1861, leaving the State on the 15th of September. It was ordered to West Virginia, where its fighting and 
marching immediately commenced, the guerrilla warfare in that section requiring a constant vigilance, with 
frequent counter attacks. The absence of the Kanawha Division in September, 1S62, — then with McClellan in 
Maryland — induced the Confederates, under General Long, to attack Fayetteville, in which affair six companies 
of the regiment lost i6 killed, 87 wounded, and 112 captured. The garrison fell back, abandoning the Kanawha 
Valley to the enemy, who held it until the return of Cox's Kanawha Division from .Antietam. In 1863, the regi- 
ment ser\'ed as mounted infantry, fighting as such at Wytheville, where Colonel Toland was killed; in July, 1864, 
it was dismounted, and, ser\'ing again as infantry, fought under Cieneral Crook at Winchester, July 20th and 24th. 
Lieutenant-Colonel John W. Shaw being killed in the latter action. On the 26ih of February, 1865, the organi- 
zation of the Tliirty-fourth was discontinued, and the men were transferred to the Thirty-sixth Ohio.

Notes. — Recruited at Worthington, Ohio, in September, 1861, It left Camp Chase, February 18, 1862, and 
proceeded to Paducah, Ky., where it was assigned to Sherman's Division. In March it embarked for Pittsburg 
Landing, encamping there until the battle of Shiloh, in which it lost 37 killed, 1S5 wounded, and 24 missing; 
total, 246. After taking part in the siege of Corinth the regiment spent the ensuing twelve months of 1862-63

of 1863, it served a while as mounted infantry on scouting expeditions. On June 12th, 1863, the Forty-sixth 
moved to Vicksburg, where its division assisted in the siege operations of that time, the regiment being then in 
Hicks's Brigade, W. S. Smith's Division, Sixteenth Corps. In October, 1863, this division embarked for Mem- 
phis where it was transferred to the Fifteenth Corps, with which it moved soon after to Chattanooga where 
it fought at Missionary Ridge, and then marched to the relief of Knoxville, the latter campaign being one un- 
paralleled for its privations and hardships. While in winter-quarters at Scottsboro, Ala., the regiment was armed 
with Spencer Repeating Rifles, which proved very effective in the ensuing Atlanta campaign. In that campaign 
the Forty-sixth was in Walcutt's (2d) Brigade, Harrow's (4th) Division, Fifteenth Corps. Major Henry H. 
Giesy was killed at Dallas. Having retnlisted, the regiment remained in ser\'ice throughout the war, accompa-

Notes. — Organized in the fall of 1861, at Norwalk, Ohio, leaving the State January 25, 1862, and proceeding 
to Grafton, VV. Va., where it remained until April, 1862. During the spring of 1862 it served in Schenck's 
Brigade, and was present with that command at Manassas,— then McLean's (2d) Brigade, Schenck's (ist) Divi- 
sion, Sigel's Corps; the casualties in the regiment at that battle amounted to 14 killed, 60 wounded, and 21 miss- 
ing. The Corps remained in Virginia, encamped near Centreville, during McClellan's Antietam campaign, and 
then went into winter-quarters at Stafford Court House. On the 27th of April it broke camp for Chancellors- 
ville, the brigade being then in Devens's (ist) Division, Eleventh Corps; the loss of the regiment in that battle 
was 9 killed, 87 wounded, and 57 missing, — out of 491 present. At Gettysburg the Fifty-fifth was in Smith's

honorable distinction in the Atlanta campaign. During that campaign the regiment — then in Butterfield's (3d) 
Division — participated in some hard fighting at Resaca, where it lost 18 killed — including Colonel Gambee and 
Major Robbins — 78 wounded, and three missing; its casualties on that campaign were over 200, or fifty per

Notes. — Organized at Mansfield, in October, 186:, the recruits coming from the State at large. It left the 
State, December 18, proceeding to Kentucky, where it was assigned to Harker's Brigade of Wood's Division. 
In March, 1862, Wood's Division accompanied Buell's Army in its march to Shiloh, but arrived on the field too 
late to take an active part in the battle, the regiment losing only two men wounded. The Si.\ty-fifth was under 
fire at the Siege of Corinth, after which it marched with Buell on the long and arduous campaigns of the sum- 
mer of 1862. At the battle of Stone's River, it fought in Harker's (3d) Brigade, Wood's (ist) Division, Crit- 
tenden's Corps (Left Wing), its casualties in that action aggregating 35 killed, 100 wounded, and 38 missing, out

Notes. — Left Columbus, January 19, 1862, proceeding to West Virginia, where it served under Lander. In 
March, under command of Lieutenant-Colonel Voris, it moved with Shields's Division up the Shenandoah Valley 
to Kernstown, where Shields won a decided victory over Stonewall Jackson, the regiment losing in that battle 9 
killed and 38 wounded. Embarking at Alexandria, June 29th, it proceeded to Harrison's Landing, on the James 
River, to recnforce McClellan ; but the Government having ordered that the route by the James must be aban- 
doned, McClellan was obliged to withdraw his army, upon which the Sixty-seventh, was ordered to Suffolk, Va. 
It remained there a few months, enjoying the needed rest and perfecting its drill, after which it moved to Hilton 
Head, S. C, arriving there February i, 1863. It participated in the operations about Charleston Harbor in the 
summer of 1863, and took part in the disastrous assault on Fort Wagner, losing in that brief action jg killed, 82 
wounded, and 25 missing. The regiment went home in February, 1864, on a veteran furlough, and, returning, 
joined the Army of the James at Bermuda Hundred, where it was assigned to Howell's (ist) Brigade, Terry's 
(ist) Division, Tenth Corps. At Chester Station, May 10, 1864, the regiment lost 12 killed, 64 wounded, and 2 
missing; from that time on, it was under fire almost daily for several mouths. In December, 1864, the Tenth 
Corps was merged in the newly-formed Twenty-fourth Corps, in which the regiment fought at the victorious 
assault on Fort Gregg; though but a remnant of its former self, it lost in that bloody affair 8 killed and 53 
wounded.

Notes. — The Seventy-third was recruited largely in Ross county, and was organized at Chillicothe, 
December 31, 1861. It left Ohio on the 24th of January, 1862, for West Virginia, where it served under Lander, 
Milroy, and Fremont, and was engaged in several expeditions and minor engagements. It fought at Manassas — 
then in McLean's (2d) Brigade, Schenck's (ist) Division, Sigel's Corps — losing 25 killed, 87 wounded, and 36 
missing, with only 312 muskets taken into action. Soon after this battle the regiment was placed in Barlow's 
(ist) Brigade, Steinwehr's (2d) Division, Eleventh Corps, with which command it remained encamped in 
Virginia during the ensuing Maryland and Fredericksburg campaigns, and during the winter of 1 862-63. 
Barlow's Brigade was only slightly engaged at Chancellorsville, but at Gettysburg the brigade (Smith's) did some 
hard fighting, the regiment losing 21 killed, 120 wounded, and 4 missing, out of about 300 present in action. In 
September the Seventy-third accompanied its corps to Tennessee, where it was engaged, a few weeks after, in the 
midnight battle of Wauhatchie. In that affair the Seventy-third Ohio and Thirty-third Massachusetts carried a 
strong position by storm — a gallant action, which General Grant alluded to in his official report as " one of the 
most daring feats of arms of the war." While on the .'\tlanta Campaign the Seventy-third was in Woods's (3d) 
Brigade, Ward's (3d) Division, Twentieth Corps. At Resaca it lost 10 killed, and 42 wounded ; at New Hope 
Church, 15 killed, and 59 wounded ; and at Bentonville (Cogswell's Brigade), 5 killed, and 25 wounded.

panied the Eleventh Corps to Tennessee, where it participated in the Chattanooga campaign, — then in TyndaJe's

Notes. — Mustered in September 4, i<S62,and ordered to Western Virginia, where it remaineil during the 
next eight months, stationed most of that time at Martinsburg, engaged in guard duty along the railroad, its work 
varied occasionally by scouting expeditions into the enemy's country for the suppression of guerrilla bands. It 
was then in B. F. Smith's Brigade, Second Division, Eighth Corps. Upon Lee's advance, in June, 1863, the reg- 
iment, with other troops, was attacked at Martinsburg, and after a sharp fight was forced to fall back to Harper's 
Ferry, where it joined that garrison — French's Division. This division was shortly afterwards attached to the 
Third Corps, becoming its Third (Carr's) Division. L'ljon the discontinuance of the Third Corps, in April, 1864, 
this division was transferred to the Sixth Corps, in which it served until the end of the war. While in the Sixth 
Corps the division was commanded by General Ricketts, who was wounded at Cedar Creek, and succeeded by 
( iL-neral Seymour. At the battle of the Wilderness the regiment faced a terrible fire, which more than decimated 
lis ranks, its casualties there amounting to 22 killed, 125 wounded, and 62 missing. At Spotsylvania it lost 21 
killed, 56 wounded, and i missing. In July, 1864, the division — Ricketts's — was ordered to Maryland to meet

Lieutenant-Colonel Aaron W. Elbright, commanding the regiment, was killed at the battle of the Opequon, in 
which action the regiment lost 12 killed, 40 wounded, and 2 missing. .At Fisher's Hill it lost 6 killed, 25 
wounded, and i missing, — the heaviest loss sustained by any regiment in that battle; and at Cedar Creek, 4

NoiES.— Organized at Camp Joe Holt, Indiana, September 9, 1861, and crossing into Kentucky, soon after, 
it commenced its active service in Rousseau's Brigade, McCook's Division. In March, 1862, it marched wilh 
Buell's Army to re-enforce Grant, arriving on the field of Shiloh in time to take part in the batde and change a 
defeat into a victory. The Fifth was actively engaged there, losing 7 killed and 56 wounded. After participat- 
ing ne.xt in the Siege of Corinth, it moved with Buell's troops on their long and arduous campaigns, the next battle 
of the regiment occurring at Stone's River, Tenn., on December 31, 1862. It was then in Baldwin's (3d) 
Brigade, Johnson's (2d) Division, McCook's Corps; its loss in that engagement was 19 killed, 80 wounded, 
and 26 missing, out of 320 engaged, a part of the regiment being on detached service. The Fifth suffered 
its severest loss at Chickamauga, its casualties on that field amounting to 14 killed, 79 wounded, and 32 missing, 
out of a small number engaged ; Major Charles L. Thomassen was killed in this battle. In October, 1863, the 
regiment became a part of Hazen's (2d) Brigade, Wood's (3d) Division, Fourth Corps, in which command it 
fought at Missionary Ridge and through the Atlanta campaign of 1864. Though small in numbers, it made a 
brilliant fight at Orchard Knob and Missionary Ritlge, its percentage of loss being again very large ; in fact, the 
total percentage of loss in action of the Fifth Kentucky, as based on its total enrollment, was exceeded by but 
kw reaiinents in the entire armv. The regiment w.is mustered out Sejnember 14. 1S64.

10 killed, and 93 wounded, out of about 450 in action. In that battle the regiment, under command of Colo- 
nel Whitaker, made a gallant fight ; it captured there three pieces of artillery, the Colonel cutting down one of 
the cannoniers with a bowie-knife, just taken from a captured man. After sharing in the siege operations about 
Corinth, the regiment participated in the long, wearisome marches of Buell's Army in the summer and fall of

Campbell, were killed in this battle ; two of the line-officers also lost their lives there. The Fifteenth carried 
itself through this bloody action with a cool gallantry and steadiness of movement which elicited strong words of 
praise in the official reports of that action. 

At Stone's River, the regiment lost 10 killed, 32 wounded, and iS missing; Forman, the "Brave Boy 
Colonel," being among the killed. At Chickamauga, then in Beatty's (ist) Brigade, Negley's (2d) Division,

Colonel Baldwin was killed at Chickamauga while in command of the brigade, the regiment losing there 13 
killed, 116 wounded, and 31 missing. L^pon the reorganization of the Army of the Cumberland in October, 
1863, it became a part of Hazen's (2d) Brigade, Wood's (3d) Division, Fourth Corps, in which command it took

Notes. — The Ninth went out at first in the three months service, but upon its return re-organized under a 
three years enlistment. Leaving Indiana in September, 1861, it proceeded to West Virginia, where it remained 
on duty until February, 1862, fighting in the meanwhile at the battles of Green Brier and Camp Allegheny; in 
the latter engagement there was some sharp fighting in which the Ninth lo^^t 8 killed, and 13 wounded. In Feb- 
ruary, 1862, it was ordered to join Buell's Army, where it was assigned to Hazen's Brigade of Nelson's Division, 
with which it marched to Shiloh ; its losses in that battle were 17 killed and 153 wounded. The year 1862 was 
one -of arduous campaigns and long marches, ending, with the year, in Rosecrans's hard-fought battle of Stone's 
River. The regiment was then in Palmer's (2d) Division, of Crittenden's Corps, its casualties on that field 
amounting to 11 killed, 87 wounded, and 11 missing. At Chickamauga, it lost 13 killed, 91 wounded, and 22

Corps. During the Atlanta campaign this division was commanded by General Stanley, and by General Kimball 
in the Franklin-Nashville campaign. The regiment reenlisted in December, 1863, and thus preser\'ed its organi- 
zation during the war. After the victory over Hood, at Nashville, December 15, 1864, it marched into East 
Tennessee ; from there it moved to Texas, where it remained with the Army of Occupation until September, 
1865, when it was mustered out and returned home.

Notes. — Mustered in, June 7, 1861, — the first in Indiana to muster in for three years. It was ordered into 
West Virginia, where it served until the spring of 1862, when it moved with Shields's Division up the Shenan- 
doah Valley, and fought at Kernstown, losing there 4 killed, and 50 wounded. In July it joined the Army of the 
Potomac at Harrison's Landing, where it was assigned to Kimball's (ist) Brigade, French's (3d) Division, 
Second Corps. This brigade did good service at Antietam, earning there its title of "The Gibraltar Brigade." 
The Fourteenth went into that action with 320 men ; its casualties were 3 1 killed and 150 wounded ; no tniising. 
The Gibrahar Brigade opened the battle of Fredericksburg on the morning of December 13th, leading the 
attack on Marye's Heights, in which the regiment lost 5 killed, 65 wounded, and 5 missing. At Chancellorsville, 
the losses were 7 killed, 50 wounded, and 7 missing ; at Gettysburg, 6 killed and 25 wounded. In the latter 
engagement it was in Carroll's Brigade, which distinguished itself by its promptness and efficiency in rescuing 
Ricketts's Battery from the charge of the "Louisiana Tigers " on Cemetery Hill. During the Wilderness cam- 
paign, Carroll's Brigade served in Gibbon's (2d) Division, winning additional laurels by its gallant action. Colonel 
Coons was killed at Spotsylvania, while "sitting calmly on his horse in the trenches, and firing barrel after barrel 
of his revolver at the Confederates, who were swarming up on the other side of the breastworks."* The Four- 
teenth fought its last battle at Cold Harbor, after which it was ordered home for muster-out.

Notes.— Organized in Indianapolis, July 29. i S61 , arriving at Washington on the 5th of August. After some 
service in the field it went into winter-quarters at Fort Craig, on Arlington Heights, Va., remaining there until 
March, 1862, when it joined in the general advance of the Army. It then formed part of Gibbon's (4th) 
Brigade, Hatch's (1st) Division, McDowell's Corps, a brigade which afterwards became famous as the "Iron 
Brigade of the West." Its first battle was at Manassas, in which the Nineteeeth lost 47 killed, 168 wounded, and 
44 missing, a total of 259 out of 423 engaged. Major Isaac M. May was killed in that battle. At South Moun- 
tain the casualties were 9 killed, 37 wounded, and 7 missing; at Antietam, 13 killed, and 59 wounded; at 
Gettysburg, 27 killed, 133 wounded, and 50 missing ; and in Grant's campaign — from May 5 to July 30, 1864 — 
it lost 36 killed, 174 wounded, and 16 missing. Lieutenant-Colonel Alois O. Bachman was killed at Antietam. 
and Colonel Williams fell at the Wilderness. The regiment took about 200 men into action at Antietam, and 288 
at Gettysburg, the percentage of loss in each action being unusually heavy The First Corps was broken up in 
March, 1S64, and its regiments transferred to the Fifth; Wadsworth's Division thus became the Fourth Division 
of the Fifth Corps; the Iron Brigade (ist Brig.), General Cutler commanding, remained in the division. While 
in the Fifth Corps, the regiment saw some hard fighting at the Wilderness, and, also, at the assault on Petersburg, 
June i8th. The enlistment of the Nineteenth e.xpired in August, 1864, when the few remaining members of the 
original regiment went home.

Notes. — Leaving the State, .August 2, iS6i, it proceeded to Cockeysville, Md., where it guarded the railroad 
for several weeks. It sailed for Hatteras Inlet, N. C, September 24lh, and thence in November to Fort Monroe, 
where it passed the winter. While encamped at Newport News, it participated in the fight between the Mer- 
rimac and the Congress ; the regiment having been deployed on the beach under the fire of the Confederate 
vessels, prevented the enemy from taking possession of the Congress. It went to Norfolk in May, and in the 
following month joined McClellan's Army — then on the Chickahominy, where it was placed in Robinson's (ist) 
Brigade, Kearny's (3d) Division, Third Corps. In the affair of June 25, 1862, at Oak Grove, or "The Orchards," 
the Twentieth received the principal attack and sustained the heaviest loss, its casualties amounting to 11 
killed, 82 wounded, and 32 missing. .•Vt Manassas, the losses were 4 killed, 35 wounded and 6 missing. Colonel 
Brown being among the killed. After this battle the Corps, having become greatly reduced by its losses, was 
withdrawn from active service to enable it to rest, and the wounded or missing to return ; hence it was not pre- 
sent at Antietam. At Gettysburg — Ward's Brigade, Bimey's Division — its losses amounted to 32 killed, in- 
cluding Colonel Wheeler, 1 14 wounded, and 10 missing. In 1864, the division was transferred to the Second

Notes. — Organized at Madison, Tnd., on the 15th of July, 1861, leaving the State in the following month. 
Joining Fremont's army at St. Louis, it marched to the relief of Le.xington. While on the way to that place the 
Union troops fired into each other by mistake, in which affair ^L^jor Gordon Tanner, of the Twenty-second, was 
mortally wounded. Colonel Davis being promoted Brigadier, the regiment was attached to his division with 
which it marched, in January, 1862, on Curtis's e.xpedition against Price, and thence to the battle of Pea Ridge ; 
its casualties in that engagement were 9 killed, and 33 wounded, including Lieutenant-Colonel John A. Hen- 
dricks, who fell, mortally wounded. The regiment then joined the army at the Siege of Corinth, after which it 
was stationed in Northern Mississippi until August, 1862, when it marched with Buell on the Kentucky cam- 
paign. /\t the battle of Chaplin Hills, Ky., October 8, 1SO2, the regiment was in Mitchell's (R. B.) Division ; 
Colonel Gooding commanded the brigade, and Lieutenant-Colonel Keith the regiment. Keith fell dead, at the 
head of his men, while waving his sword and cheering on the line. The casualties in the regiment were 49 killed, 
87 wounded, and 33 missing, out of 303 engaged. Six of the officers lost their lives in that battle. The loss at 
Stone's River was 7 killed, 39 wounded, and 18 missing. The Twenty-second was then in Post's (ist) Brigade, 
Daviss (ist) Division, McCook's Corps. The regiment wa^ detailed as rear-guard at Chickamauga, and so was 
absent at that battle ; but it participated, two months later, in the storming of Missionary Ridge, — then in Sheri- 
dan's (2d) Division, Fourth Corps. It served ne.\t in Davis's (2d) Division, Fourteenth Corjjs.

Notes.— Silas Colgrove was the typical " old-fashioned Colonel " of the .\merican Army. At times, brave 
and courageous to a fault ; at others, careful and judicious to an admirable degree. He was always kind 
and cheerful to his men, winning not only their admiration and respect, but their love and confidence. His 
stanch, soldierly virtues were largely reflected in his men, making the Twenty-seventh a reliable and hard fight- 
ing regiment. That it faced unflinchingly the musketry of many fields is clearly indicated in its extraordinary 
percentage of loss. It left the State September 15, 1861, and soon after its arrival at Washington was assigned 
to Banks's command. It wintered near Frederick, Md., and in the spring participated in Banks's Shenandoah 
campaign. After that, its history is identical with that of the Twelfth Corps and Williams's Division. 

Its casualties in battle were severe, especially in proportion to its numbers. It lost at Cedar Mountain 1 5 killed, 
29 wounded, and 6 missing; at Antietam, 18 killed, 191 wounded, )w tnissing; at Chancellorsville, 20 killed, 126 
wounded, and 4 missing ; at Gettysburg, 23 killed, 86 wounded, and i missing At Resaca, Ga., the regiment 
captured the colors and the Colonel of the Thirty-eighth Alabama, together with a large number of prisoners. 
Colgrove handling his men well in this fight, the loss not exceeding 68 killed and wounded, while it inflicted five 
times that on the enemy. In 1864 the designation of the Corps was changed to the Twentieth, although the 
old badges and division commanders were retained. The regiment served in the Twentieth Corps in the Atlanta 
campaign, after which, its term having expired, it was mustered out.

Notes. — Organized and mustered in at Fort Wayne on the 24th of September, iS6i Proceeding to Ken 
tucky it reported to General Rousseau, and, having been assigned to McCook's Brigade, moved with Buell's 
Army to Bowling Green, Ky. ; thence, in March, 1862, to Nashville, and thence, in April, to the battle field of 
Shiloh, where Buell arrived in time to fight the battle of the second day and save Grant's .^rmy. The Colonel 
fell, mortally wounded, in this engagement, while the total casualties in the regiment amounted to 12 killed, 115 
wounded, and 2 missing. The Thirtieth was then in Kirk's Brigade of A. D. McCook's Division. After 
the Siege of Corinth it marched with Buell through Northern Alabama and Tennessee into Kentucky, and 
thence to Nashville. At Stone's River it fought in Johnson's (2d) Division, McCook's Corps, losing in that 
battle, 31 killed, no wounded, and 72 inissing. The regiment was small in numbers at Chickamauga, yet it lost 
there, 10 killed, 55 wounded, and 61 missing. During the Atlanta campaign it was in Grose's (3d) Brigade, 
Stanley's (ist) Division, Fourth Corps. After the fall of Adanta it marched northward with the Fourth Corps, 
and was engaged at the battles of Franklin and Nashville. In that campaign the division was commanded by 
General Kimball, Stanley having been promoted to the command of the Corps. In 1864, while at Atlanta, the 
regiment was mustered out, its three years of enlistment having expired. The recruits and reenlisted men 
remaining in the field were consolidated into a battalion of seven companies, which remained with the Fourth 
Corps during the rest of the war.

Notes. — A German regiment, organized through the exertions of Colonel Willich, an officer who had seen 
service in the German army, and who, also, achieved a brilliant success in the War of the Rebellion. The regi- 
ment left Indiana in September, proceeding to Kentucky where it served for several months. While on duty at 
Rowlett's Station, Ky., guarding a railroad bridge, it was attacked on December 17, 1861, by a superior force 
under General Hindman, but succeeded in repulsing the attack. The gallantry of the regiment in this affair 
elicited a special order from General Buell, acknowledging the service performed. The loss of the Thirty- 
second in that fight was 11 killed, 22 wounded, and 5 missing, out of 418 engaged. In February, 1862, it 
moved to Bowling Green, Ky., and thence to Nashville, where it remained a short time, after which it marched 
to Shiloh, then in Rousseau's Division. Its loss at Shiloh was 10 killed and 86 wounded. At Stone's River,— 
then in Johnson's Division— it lost 12 killed, 40 wounded, and 115 missing or captured; at Liberty (;ap, 7 
killed, and 19 wounded ; at Chickamauga, 21 killed, 8i wounded, and 20 missing. Upon the reorganization of 
the Fourth Corps, in October, 1863, it was assigned to Willich's (ist) Brigade, Wood's (3d) Division, Fourth 
Corps, in which command it fought at Missionary Ridge,— where Major Jacob Glass was killed,— and, also, in 
the Atlanta campaign. After the fall of Atlanta, the regiment was ordered home for muster-out ; the recruits 
and reenlisted men remaining in the field weie formed into a residuary battalion of four companies, which garri- 
soned Chattanooga until June, 1865.

Notes. — A peculiar interest attaches itself to the Twenty-first, because it was Grant's old regiment. The 
men in that command little thought that the stranger assigned to them as their colonel was destined to become 
the grandest figure in the war. The recruits rendezvoused at IVIattoon, where they were mustered into the State 
service, May 15, 186 1, by " Captain " Grant, and on the 24th of June, the regiment was mustered into the United 
States service by Captain Pitcher, U. S. A., with U. S. Grant as colonel. Grant continued in command of his 
regiment until the 7th of August, when he was promoted, and entered on the career which was to culminate in 
grandeur at Appomatto.x. The regiment served in Missouri until May, 1862, and then it joined Buell's Army. It 
was engaged at the battle of Perryville, Ky., but with only a slight loss in wounded. At Stone's River, it par- 
ticipated in the hardest of the fighting, losing in that batde, and in the pieliminary skirmish at Knob Gab, 57 
killed, 187 wounded and 59 missing; total 303. The regiment was then in Carlin's (2d) Brigade, Davis's (ist) 
Division, McCook's Corps, and sustained the heaviest loss of any regiment on that field. Four color-bearers 
were shot down, but the colors were carried safely through the fight. At Chickamauga it lost 22 killed, 70 
wounded, and 146 captured or missing ; Colonel .Alexander, an officer of rare merit, was killed there. After this 
battle the Twenty-first was assigned to Cruft's (ist) Brigade, Stanley's (1st) Division, Fourth Corps. The regiment 
reenlisted in March, 1864, upon which it returned to Illinois on a veteran furlough. It rejoined the Army while 
at the front, near Kenesaw I\[ountain, the men who did not rel'nlist having been attached during the meanwhile to 
the One Hundred and First Ohio. After participating in the Atlanta and Nashville campaigns of 1864, it ac- 
companied its corps to Texas, where it was mustered out in Dece.iiber, 1S65.

Notes. — Organized at Belleville, May 11, 1861 ; mustered in June 25th, and left the Stale July 11, proceed- 
ing to Bird's Point, Mo. On the 19th of August following, five companies made a successful night attack on the 
enemy at Charleston, Mo., capturing many prisoners and horses. It was actively engaged at the battle of 
Belmont, Mo., Nov. 7, i86r, losing there 23 killed, 74 wounded, and 37 missing, out of seven companies 
engaged, — three companies having been left to guard the transports. After participating in the Siege of Corinth, 
the regiment performed guard duty along the Memphis & Charleston Railroad, until September, 1862, when it 
fell back to Nashville. At the battle of Stone's River it lost 21 killed, 116 wounded, and 56 missing, out of 312 
present in that action ; the regiment was then in Roberts's (3d) Brigade, Sheridan's (3d) Division, McCook's 
Corps. At Chickamauga it lost 23 killed, 76 wounded, and 31 missing, out of less than 300 engaged. Upon the 
re-organization of the Army of the Cumberland, in October, 1863, the Twenty-second was placed in Harker's (3d) 
Brigade, Sheridan's (2nd) Division, Fourth Corps, and with that division was engaged in the storming of Mis- 
sionary Ridge. After that battle the remnant of the regiment marched to the relief of Knoxvjlle, ^nd then passed 
the winter of 1863-4 in the mountains of East Tennessee. In May, 1S64, it marched with %tieri4an bri the Atlanta 
campaign, the little regiment sharing in all the fighting of the Fourth Corps until June loth, when it received the 
welcome order to return home for muster-out, its term having expired. The rei'nlisted men and recruits with 
unexpired terms were transferred to the Forty-second Illinois Infantry. Colonel Dougherty lost a leg at Belmont, 
after which the regiment was commanded by Colonel Swanwick in its various battles.

NoTES. — Left the State October 13, 1861, and during the next eight months was stationed in West Virginia, 
guarding railroad most of the time. It served next with Shields's Division in the Shenandoah Valley, and was 
present at the battle of Kernstown, March 23, 1862, but was not actively engaged. It was ordered to the Penin- 
sula in June, arriving there just after the battle of Malvern Hill, and was assigned to Peck's Division, Fourth Corps. 
Upon the withdrawal from the Peninsula the Thirty-nmth was ordered to Suffolk, where it remained for a few 
months. The year 1863 was passed at Hilton Head, S. C, and in Charleston Harbor, where it was engaged in 
the siege operations on Morris Island and at Fort Wagner. Having reenlisted it went home on its veteran fur- 
lough, returning in March, 1864, with about 750 men. It was assigned to Howell's (ist) Brigade, Terry's (ist) 
Division, Tenth Corps, in which it fought during the ensuing campaign against Richmond. In the fighting at 
Drewry's Bluff and at Bermuda Hundred the regiment lost 14 killed, no wounded, and 49 missing; total, 173. 
The regiment encountered more hard fighting at Deep Bottom, August 16, 1864, where it captured an earth-work, 
losing in the affair 20 killed, 76 wounded, and 7 missing. In December, 1S64, it was transferred to Osborn's 
(ist) Brigade, Foster's (ist) Division, Twenty-fourth Corps. In the victorious assault on Fort Gregg, at the 
Fall of Petersburg, the gallantry of the regiment was specially acknowledged by General (ribbon, the corps com- 
mander. In that desperate fight it lost 16 killed and 45 wounded, out of only 150 present in action — a part of 
the regiment having been absent on picket duty ; of the nine men in the color-guard, seven were shot down in 
this assault. The Thirty-ninth was mustered out at Norfolk, Va., in December, 1865.

Sherman's Division; its loss at Shiloh was 47 killed, 160 wounded, and 9 missing; total, 216. The regiment 
received the compliments of General Sherman for its gallantry in this battle, particularly for the steadiness with 
which it remained in line when requested by him to do so, although its cartridge boxes had been emptied and the 
enemy were in its immediate front. The remainder of the year 1862, and all of 1863, was passed in the vicinity 
of Corinth, Vicksburg and Memphis ; during the Vicksburg campaign it served in Hick's (2d) Brigade, W. S.

Notes. — Mustered in at Camp Buder, ne-ir Springfield, 111., August 21, 1862, and ordered immediately on 
active duty in Kentucky. It assisted in covering the retreat after the battle of Richmond, Ky., and participated 
in other movements along the line between Louisville and Cincinnati. It was assigned to Sheridan's Division, and 
fought under that distinguished general until he was ordered to the East in the spring of 1864. Colonel Ber- 
nard Laiboldt, of the Second Missouri, commanded the brigade. The Seventy-third was engaged at the battle 
of Chaplin Hills ( Perry ville), where it lost 2 killed and 33 wounded. At Stone's River it lost i5 killed, 64 
wounded, and 8 missing; and at Chickamaviga, 13 killed, 57 wounded, and 22 missing. Major William E. 
Smith lost his life in the latter action. The regiment fou-ht at Missionary Ridge, losing there 3 killed and 24

its unparalleled hardships and privations. During the Adanta campaign the regiment served in Kimball's (ist) 
Brigade, Newton's (2d) Division, Fourth Corps, participating in all the battles of that command. After the fall 
of Atlanta it marched northward with the corps in pursuit of Hood, fighting in the bloody engagement at 
Franklin. In that battle the division was under the command of General Wagner. The brigade, under com- 
mand of Colonel Emerson Opdycke (One Hundred and Twenty-fifth Ohio), played an important part in that 
battle, its gallantry aiding materially in saving the day. The Seventy-third fought its last battle at Nasliville, 
where it joined in the successful bayonet charge of the second day's fight. The regiment then joined in the pur- 
suit of Hood's Army, and proceeding to Huntsville, Ala., went into winter quarters there. In April, 1865, it 
moved to East Tennessee, and thence to Nashville, where it was mustered out June 12, 1S65.

Notes. — A German regiment, with the exception of one company which was composed of Scandinavians. 
One company, the Concordia Guards (C), was composed of Jews, the Jewish citizens of Chicago subscribing 
^10,000 for the assistance of that company. The Eighty second was organized at Camp Butler, and left the 
State, November 3, 1862, under orders to join the Army of the Potomac, the only Illinois regiment of infantry in 
that Army * Soon after its arrival in Virginia, it was assigned to Schimmeliennig's (ist) Brigade, Schurz's (3d) 
Division, Eleventh Corps, and went into winter quarters near Stafford Court House. It was under fire, for the 
first time, at Chancellorsville, where Schurz's Division made a gallant attempt to retrieve the disaster that befell 
the corps. The regiment lost, in that battle, 29 killed, 88 wounded, and 38 missing. At Gettysburg, under 
command of Colonel Salornon, it lost 4 killed, 19 wounded, and 89 missing or captured. In September, 1863, 
the corps was transferred to Tennessee, where it was engaged in the battles about Chattanoogn, after which it 
marched to the relief of Knoxville. The Eleventh Corps was transferred, in April, 1864, to the newly-organized 
Twentieth, General Hooker commanding, the Eighty-Second being assigned to Robinson's (3d) Brigade, 
Williams's (ist) Division — the famous "Red Star Division" of the Twelfth Corps, whose badge was still re- 
tained by the Twentieth. At the battle of Nevv Hope Church, the regiment lost 1 1 killed, and 69 wounded, out 
of 245 engaged. After the fall of Atlanta, the Eighty-second accompanied its corps on the March through 
Georgia, after which it fought under Slocum in the Carolinas. 

* The Thirty-ninth Illinois was in the .\rmy of the James.

Notes. — Mustered in at Quincy, 111., on the ist of September, 1862, and was ordered into Kentucky on 
the 23d, where it was assigned to Grose's (loth) Brigade, W. S. Smith's (4th) Division, Army of the Ctmiber- 
land. .\t Stone's River it fought in Grose's (3d) Brigade, Palmer's (2nd) Division, Crittenden's Corps (Left 
Wing), — its casualties amounting to 35 killed, 124 wounded, and 8 missing; total 167 out of 35 7 engaged, as 
officially reported by Colonel \Vaters. Although this was its first experience under fire, the regiment received 
gratifying mention in the official reports, and was commended for steadiness and veteran-like movements while 
under a terrible fire. .iVt Chickamauga it lost 13 killed, 83 wounded, and 9 missing. While on the Atlanta 
campaign it ser\'ed in Grose's (3d) Brigade, Stanley's (ist) Division, Fourth Corps. 

.'\fter the capture of Atlanta the corps moved north through Tennessee, where it confronted the army of 
the Confederate General Hood. The Eighty-fourth was present at the battles of Franklin and Nashville, but 
its loss in these engagements was slight. While on the latter campaign, the division (First Division, Fourth 
Corps) was commanded by General Kimball. The regiment lost but few men taken prisoners ; its missing ones 
were, nearly all, men who were killed. It was under fire for the last time at the battle of Nashville, December 
16, 1864. .After Hood's retreat the Fourth Corps was ordered to Huntsville, Ala., and thence, after a short 
stay, to East Tennessee. The regiment was mustered out June 8, 1865, and the men whose terms would not 
expire until after October i. 1S65, were transferred to the Twenty-first Illinois Infantry.

Notes. — Organized at Chicago in .August, 1862, by the railroad companies in the State of Illinois. Captain 
John Christopher, Si.xteenth United States Infantry, was selected for the colonelcy, but as he never reported for 
duty the command devolved upon Lieutenant-Colonel Hotchkiss, who was promoted after a few months to the 
vacant position. The regiment was ordered into Kentucky, September 4th, where it was assigned to Craft's Divi- 
sion of General Nelson's Army of Kentucky. At Stone's River, its first battle, it fought in Willich's (ist) 
Brigade, Johnson's (2d) Division, McCook's Corps; loss, 10 killed, 46 wounded, and 94 captured or missing; at 
Liberty Gap, it lost 3 killed and 10 wounded ; at Chickamauga, 14 killed, 88 wounded, and 30 missing. In the 
latter engagement, Lieutenant-Colonel Duncan J. Hall, who was then in command of the Eighty-ninth, and four 
line officers were killed. Upon the reorganization of the Army of the Cumberland, in October, 1863, Willich's 
Brigade was placed in Wood's (3d) Division, Fourth Corps, in which it fought at Missionary Ridge, the regiment 
losing in that battle, 4 killed, and 30 wounded. \Vhile on the .'Atlanta campaign, this brigade took the lead in 
the bloody assault at Pickett's Mills, May 27th, in which the regiment sustained a loss of 24 killed, 102 wounded, 
and 28 missing; total, 154. Upon the evacuation of Atlanta, Sherman and the main army marched un- 
molested through Georgia, while the Fourth and Twenty-third Corps were engaged in a bloody campaign with 
Hood in Middle Tennessee. The Eighty-ninth participated in this fighting, its loss at Nashville being quite 
heavy ia proportion to the small number engaged; its casualties in that action were 4 killed and 16 wounded. 
The regiment was mustered out at Nashville, June 10, 1865, and the recruits with unexpired terms (202 in 
cumber) were left in the field and transferred to the Fiftv-uLuth Illinois Infantry.

Notes. — Organized at Chicago in September, 1S62. It was ordered to Memphis, November 9th, in which 
vicinity it remained until the opening of the Vicksburg campaign, in April, 1863. In the meantime it was 
engaged or Grant's March through Northern Mississippi, and on the Yazoo E.xpedition. During the Vicksburg 
campaign, the regiment sen'ed in Boomer's (3d) Brigade, Quinby's Division, Seventeenth Corps. 

Its first encounter with the enemy occurred at the battle of Jackson, May 14th, in which it lost i killed and 
6 wounded. Two days later it fought at Champion's Hill, a hard fought field, where its casualties amounted to 
38 killed, 113 wounded, and 11 missing; total, 162. In the assault on Vicksburg, May 22d, it lost 4 killed and 
5 1 wounded ; Colonel Boomer, the brigade commander, lost his life in this action. After the surrender of Vicks- 
burg, and' the evacuation of Jackson, the division moved to Memphis, where it was transferred to the Fifteenth 
Corps ; thence, to Chattanooga, where it was engaged in the storming of Missionary Ridge. Colonel Putnam 
fell in this battle, the loss of the regiment being 20 killed, 42 wounded, and 27 missing. 

During the Atlanta campaign, the division (General John E. Smith's) guarded the line Oi communication, 
the regiment being stationed at Allatoona Pass, where it was engaged in the memorable defense of that place, 
under General Corse ; loss, 21 killed, 52 wounded, and 10 missing. The regiment was commanded in this action 
by Major James M. Fisher, and numbered 290 men. It was during this fighting that General Sherman signalled 
the historic message to " Hold the Fort." The Ninety-third afterwards accompanied the Fifteenth Corps on the 
March to the Sea, and through the Carolinas. The brigade was commanded at Missionary Ridge by General 
Matlhies ; at Allatoona, by Colonel Tourtelottc (4th Minnesota) ; and on the March to the Sea by Colonel 
McCown, — then the First Brigade, Third Division (Gen. J. E. Smith's), Fifteenth Corps.

Notes. — Recruited in La Salle County, and organized at Ottawa, 111., in August, 1862. The regiment pro- 
ceeded immediately to Louisville, Ky, where it was uniformed and armed, after which it was assigned to Dumont's 
Division of Buell's Army. After participating in the Kentucky campaign of that fall, it was stationed at Harts- 
ville, Tenn., where it was attacked, Decembei 6, 1S62, by a Confederate brigade under General Morgan. At that 
time the garrison at Hartsville consisted of three regiments, two companies of cavalry, and a section of light 
artillery. After a sharp fight in the fields outside the town, the garrison was surrounded and compelled to 
surrender; the losses of the One Hundred and Fourth amounted to 25 killed, 131 wounded, and 568 captured. 
The men were immediately released on parole, and the regiment went to Camp Douglass, Chicago, to await 
notice of exchange, which was received in the spring of 1S63. Rejoining the Army of the Cumberland, the 
regiment was assigned to Beatty's (ist) Brigade, Negley's (2d) Division, Fourteenth Corps. It was engaged at 
Hoover's Gap, with a slight loss, and then at Chickamauga, where it lost 2 killed, 46 wounded, and 16 missing. 
In October, the One Hundred and Fourth was assigned to the First Brigade, First Division, Fourteenth Corps, in 
which it remained without further change ; this division was commanded by Johnson, and then by Carlin. The 
regiment lost at Peach Tree Creek, 16 killed, 29 wounded, and 5 missing; and at Utoy Creek, 5 killed and 18 
wounded. It accompanied Carhn's Division on the March through Georgia, and then fought under .Carlin in the 
Carolinas.

N(JTES. — This regiment, with one exception, sustained the heaviest loss in action of any cavalry regiment in 
the war. It was organized at Detroit in August, 1861, and left the State on September 29, with 1,144 officers and 
men. It went into winter quarters at Frederick, Md., but in February, 1S62, moved into Virginia, joining Eanks's 
troops in their advance up the Shenandoah Valley. While there it was attached to W^illiams's Division, and took 
a large share of the cavalry fighting in that campaign. Colonel Brodhead fell, mortally wounded, at Manassas 
while leading a charge ; the loss of the regiment in that battle was 8 killed, 13 wounded, and 97 captured,^- 
many of the latter being wounded ; it was then in Buford's Cavalry Brigade. In 1863 the regiment was assigned 
to Custer's Brigade of Michigan Cavalry. At Gettysburg the regiment lost 10 killed, 43 wounded, and 20 miss- 
ing out of 300 engaged, the loss occurring in a charge again'^t a superior force; a charge which Custer pro- 
nounced unequalled for brilliancy and gallantry in " the annals of warfare." In the spring campaign of i S64, 
the losses from May 4th to June 30th were 40 killed, 138 wounded, and 65 missing; total, 243. The list of 
battles given above are those only in which men were killed, but the regiment participated in many others in 
which it lost men wounded or captured.

Notes. — Organized at Detroit in Aug. 1862, leaving the State on December 4th with 1,144 officers and men. 
Proceeding directly to Washington it joined the Michigan Brigade, then being formed, composed of the Fifth, 
Si.xth and Seventh Michigan Cavalry, to which the First Michigan Cavalry was subsequently added. General 
Custer assumed command of the brigade while on its march to Gettysburg, where it had its first opportunity to 
distinguish itself under fire. The brigade sustained the heaviest loss at Gettysburg of any cavalry brigade in that 
battle. The Fifth was commanded there by Colonel Alger, who had served previously as a Major in the Second 
Michigan Cavalry, from which he was promoted to the Lieutenant-Colonelcy of the Sixth, and thence to the 
Colonelcy of the Fifth ; he was one of the ablest cavalry officers in the Army. The loss of the Fifth at Gettys- 
burg was 8 killed, 30 wounded, and 18 missing; Major Noah H. Ferry was killed there. At Hawes's Shop, out 
of 15 I engaged, 55 were killed or wounded. The regiment met its heaviest loss in the cavalry affair at Trevilian 
Station, where in addition to the killed and wounded 136 were taken prisoners, — the regiment having charged 
too far through an opening in the enemy's line, and being cut off from the brigade it was obliged to cut its 
way out.

NoTEs^ — One of the most remarkable and gallant cavalry charges of the war was made by a squadron of the 
Sixth Michigan Cavalry at Falling Waters, Md., on July 14, 1S63. In the retreat from Gettysburg, a Confederate 
division made a stand at F'alling Waters on the Potomac, to cover the crossing of troops, and intrenched their 
position. This position was attacked by four companies of the Sixth — Companies D, C, B, and F — led by 
Major Peter A. Weber, who with two other officers was killed in the affair. The outer line of works was carried, 
and the men leaped their horses over the inner line, but were obliged to retreat with a heavy loss. At Hawes's 
Shop, Custer's Brigade fought dismounted, the Sixth Regiment losing 16 killed and 19 wounded out of 140 
engaged. In Sheridan's cavalry campaign in 1864 — from May 4th to June 30th — the Sixth lost 29 killed, 60 
wounded, and 64 missing ; many of the latter were killed or wounded. .After the close of the war the brigade 
was ordered to the far West where it was engaged in fighting Indians. 

The Sixth was organized at Grand Rapids mider the second call for volunteers, and was mustered into the 
service of the United States, October 13, 1862. It left Grand Rajjids, 1,229 strong, on the loth of December, 
- and proceeded to Washington where it was assigned to the Michigan Cavalry Brigade. This brigade was 
'■ommanded by General Copeland, who was succeeded in June, 1863, by General Custer. The brigade was 
mustered out on November 24, 1865, the recruits having been previously transferred to the First Michigan 
Veterau Cavalry, which was not mustered out until March 10, 1S66.

Notes. — Recruiting for this regiment began in the fall of 1862, and on July 7, 1863, six companies were 
mustered in. These six companies were immediately ordered to Indiana, where they took an active part in 
checking the advance of Morgan's Raid, after which they returned to the rendezvous at Deaiborn, Mich., where 
the remaining four companies were soon afterwards recruited. It was ordered to Chicago in August, and placed 
on guard over the Confederate prisoners at Camp Douglass. It joined the Army of the Potomac in March, 
1S64, at Annapolis, Md., where it was assigned to Christ's (2d) Brigade, Willcox's (3d) Division. The regi- 
ment encountered hard fighting at Spotsylvania, its losses in the action of May 12th amountmg to 34 killed, 117 
wounded, and 3 missing, Major John Piper being among the killed. Another bloody contest occurred at the 
assault on Petersburg, June 17th, where, under command of Major Levant C. Rhines, the regiment took a 
prominent and meritorious part; its loss in that action was 75 killed and wounded, besides 81 missing, many of 
whom were killed or disabled ; Major Rhines was killed in this action. The regiment was then transferred to 
the First Division, in which it afterwards remained. Upon the fall of Petersburg, the regiment — then in Ely's 
Brigade — was the first to enter the city, its flag appearing on the Court House, April 3, 1865, at 4. 28 A. M. A 
few minutes later, the colors of the Second Michigan, of the same brigade, were unfurled from the CustC|m 
House. 

One company in this regiment was composed of Indians, who distinguished themselves in action by th,eii 
coolness and efficient markmansbip.

Notes. — Originally a three months' regiment which organized in April, 1S61, and fought at First Bull Run. 
Upon its return it reorganized at Ann Arbor, Mich., under a three years' enlistment, and, leaving the State on 
September 16, returned to the seat of war in Virginia. During the winter of iS6i-'62 it was encamped at 
Annapolis Junction, Md., engaged in guarding the railroad. In March, 1862, it moved to Fort Monroe, and 
thence up the Peninsula with Morell's (ist) Division, Fifth Corps. At Gaines's Mill the regiment, under 
command of Colonel Roberts, did some hard fighting, losing 27 killed, 81 wounded, and 43 missing. Still 
harder fighting, with heavier losses, was encountered at Manassas, where its casualties amounted to 33 killed, 
114 wounded, and 31 missing; total, 178 out of 20 officers and 220 men engaged. In this battle the colonel, 
four captains, and three lieutenants were killed, and eight line officers were wounded. Lieutenant-Colonel 
.Abbott led the regiment at Fredericksburg, its losses there aggregating 8 killed, and 40 wounded. In that battle 
the brigade was commanded by General Barnes, and the division by General Griffin. In May, 1864, the 
regiment entered on Grant's campaign with only 1 76 muskets. It was then in the Third Brigade (General Joseph 
J. Bartleti's), with General Grififin still in command of the division. The loss of the regiment in the battles of 
the Wilderness and Spotsylvania was 8 killed, 66 wounded, and 12 missing. In Febniary, 1S64, a part of the 
regiment, 213 in number, reiinlisted ; these, with the recruits, preserved the organization throughout the war.

Notes. — Organized April 25, 186 1, and mustered into the United States service on May 25th. It was 
assigned to Berry's (3d) Brigade, Kearny's (5d) Division, Third Corps ; and at Williamsburg, according to 
General Kearny, it maintained the key-point of the position; loss, 17 killed, 38 wounded, and 5 missing. Colo- 
nel Poe, in his official report of that battle, mentions the fact that one of his men " was found dead beside a 
dead foe, each transfixed with the other's bayonet." In November, 1862, the regiment was transferred to 
Poe's (ist) Brigade, Bums's (ist) Division, Ninth Corps. In February, 1863, the Ninth Corps moved to New- 
port News, Va., and thence, in March, to Kentucky; it remained there until June, when it joined Grant's 
Army at Vicksburg. The regiment distinguished itself in a gallant affair on the skirmish line at Jackson, Miss., 
July II, 1863, in which it lost 9 killed, 40 wounded, and 10 missing; it was then in Leasure's (3d) Brigade, 
Welsh's (ist) Division. During the Siege of Knoxville, on November 24, 1863, the regiment, with a gal- 
lantry unsurpassed, made a sortie with 150 men in which Major Byington, /Vdjutant Noble, two line officers

Notes. — Organized at Adrian, Mich., May 16, 1861, taking its departure from the State on the 25th of 
June. Proceeding to Virginia it joined in the advance to First Bull Run, but was not engaged there. 'I'he fol- 
lowing winter was spent in camp at Miner's Hill, Va., moving in the early spring to the Peninsula with the main 
army, where it was assigned to the Second Brigade (Griffin's), First Division (Morell's), Fifth Corps, in which it 
remained, with occasional change of commanders, during its entire service. It encountered i;s first hard fighting 
at Gaines's Mill, where it lost 15 killed, 41 wounded, and 32 missing; at Malvern Hill, four days later, its casual- 
ties were 41 killed, 100 wounded, and 23 missing,— Colonel Woodbury being among the killed. At Gettysburg 
the division was commanded by General Barnes, and the brigade by Colonel Sweitzer ; the division fought there 
in the desperate contest in the wheatfield, the regiment losing 25 killed, 64 wounded, and 76 missing. The fighting 
at Gettysburg was close ; a Confederate officer who seized the flag of the Fourth was shot by Colonel Jeffords, 
who, in turn, was bayoneted by a soldier and fell clinging to his colors ; the soldier who ran him through went down, 
killed by a bullet from Major Hall's revolver. Colonel Lombard, who succeeded to the command of the regiment, 
lost his life at the battle of the Wilderness. M the Wilderness and Spotsylvania the casualties amounted tj to 
killed, 62 wounded, and 8 missing; total, So. The regiment was mustered out on June 20, 1864, its term of 
service having expired.

Notes. — The Fifth sustained the heaviest loss in battle of any Michigan regiment. Its first experience in 
batde was at Williamsburg, where the three Michigan regiments in Berry's Brigade won merited honors, the loss 
of the Fifth in that battle amounting to 29 killed, and 115 wounded. It was also hotly engaged at Fair Oaks, 
where it lost 31 killed, 105 wounded, and 19 missing, out of less than 330 engaged. The regiment entered the 
Seven Days Battle with only 216 men, of whom 59 were killed, or wounded. Major John D. Fairbanks, com- 
manding the regiment, was killed at Glendale. At Fredericksburg the commanding officer, Lieutenant-Colonel 
John Gilluly, was killed while leading a charge, the casualties in the regiment aggregating 10 killed, and 73 
wounded. Lieutenant-Colonel Edward T. Sherlock succeeded to the command, and was killed in the next 
batde — at Chancellorsville. At Gettysburg — in Bimey's Division — it lost 19 killed, 86 wounded, and 4 miss- 
ing. It marched with the Second Corps on the campaign of May, 1864, numbering 365 men, as officially 
reported; its casualties a few days later at the Wililerness, were 16 killed, 79 'wounded, and 2 missing; total, 
97. Of the small number remaining, 58 fell the next week at Spotsylvania. In June, 1S64, the regiment 
received 32^ men from the Third Alichigan, which, wuh subsequent accessions, enabled it to preserve its organ- 
ization imlil the end 'if the war.

Notes. — There was not a more gallant deed performed during the war than that of the Seventh Michigan 
when it lei the forlorn hope across the river at Fredericksburg, December ii, 1S62. The Engineers had tried 
fjr hours to lay a pontoon bridge under the fire of the sharpshooters who were safely posted iu the buildings 
which lined the opposite bank. The pontoniers laid their bridge two-thirds across, but abandoned it, many of the 
men having been shot down while at work. A heavy artillery fire having failed to dislodge the enemy, a call was 
made for volunteers to cross in boats and drive away the enemy's riflemen. In response, the men of the Seventh 
seized some empty pontoons, pushed them into the water, and springing into them rowed rapidly across, some 
of the Engineers assisting at the oars. Leaping ashore, the Seventh drove the enemy from the rifle-pits and 
houses. The Nineteenth and Twentieth Massachusetts regiments followed quickly in other boats and the posi- 
tion was held. The move was made so boldly and rapidly that the gallant regiment sustained but small loss ; 
Lieutenant-Colonel Baxter, who led the regiment, was wounded while crossing in one of the boats. At Antietam, 
— in Sedgwick's Division — the regiment lost 39 killed, 178 wounded, and 4 missing; total, 221. It took 14 
officers and 151 men into the fight at Gettysburg, losing 21 killed, and 44 wounded ; Lieutenant-Colonel Amos E. 
Steele, Jr., who was in command iu that battle, was killed.

Notes. — Rightly named " The Wandering Regiment." It arrived at Washington, 915 strong, on the 30th 
of September, 1861. It encamped on Meridian Hill for five weeks, and then went to Annapolis, where it 
embarked with Sherman's Exjvcdition for Hilton Head, S. C. In the assault on the earthworks at Secession- 
ville (James Island), June 16, 1862, the regiment signally distinguished itself The brigade — in Stevens's 
Division — was commanded in that action by Colonel Fenton, and the regiment by Lieutenant-Colonel Graves. 
.Supported by the Seventy-ninth New York (Highlanders), the Eighth gained the parapet of the works by a 
daring and dashing charge, but was obliged to relinquish its foothold with a loss of 48 killed, 120 wounded, and 
9 missing, out of 25 officers and 509 enlisted men engaged. In July, 1862, it moved to Fort Monroe, where 
it joined the Ninth Corps, in which it fought at Manass.as antl in all the subsequent battles of the Corps; 
the casualties at Manassas, including Chantilly, were 10 killed, 56 wounded, and 12 missing. The regiment 
accompanied the Ninth Corps — Leasure's Brigade, Welsh's Division — in its occupation of Kentucky, the 
Siege of Vicksburg, the East Tenenssee campaign, and returned with it to Virginia in the spring of 1S64. At 
the Wilderness it lost ii killed, 80 wounded, and 14 missing. Colonel Graves was killed at the Wilderness; 
Major W. E. Lewis, at Bethesda Church; and Major Horatio Belcher, at the Wcldon Railroad.

Notes. — Organized originally as " Stockton's Independent Regiment," under authority from the .Secretary 
of War, but it was soon included in the State service. It left the State on September 16, 1864, with ten companies, 
— 761 officers and men; two companies of sharpshooters joined it later, making twelve companies, one joining 
in 1862, the other in 1864. The regiment went into winter quarters at Hall's Hill, Va., and in March, 1862, 
moved to the Peninsula. It was assigned to the Third Brigade, First Division, Fifth Corps, in which it remained 
throughout the war ; at that time the brigade was commanded by General Butterfield, and the division by General 
Morell. The regiment suffered a severe loss at Gaines's Mill, its casualties amounting to 47 killed, 114 wounded, 
and 53 missing ; many of the latter were killed or wounded. Under command of Captain Elliott it was hotly 
engaged at Manassas, where it lost 16 killed, 64 wounded, and 16 missing, out of 290 engaged. Colonel Welch 
was in command at Gettysburg, where it took part in the historic contest of Vincent's Brigade for the possession 
of Little Round Top, losing in that battle 23 killed, 34 wounded, and 3 missing. Major Robert T. Elliott wa^ 
killed at the Totopotomoy, and Colonel Welch in the assault at Peebles's Farm. Welch was killed on the parapet

Notes. — The Seventeenth, or "Stonewall Regiment," left Detroit, 982 strong, on the 27th of August, 1862. 
On its arrival at Washington it was assigned to the First Brigade (Colonel Christ's), First Division (Willcox's), 
Ninth Corps, and ordered immediately into Maryland where it joined McClellan's army, then on its way to meet 
Lee. Within three weeks after leaving the State it was engaged in the battle of South Mountain, where its gal- 
lantry and effective services were acknowledged by the division-general and also by General McClellan ; its loss 
in that action was 26 killed and 106 wounded ; tw t/iissiiig. General Willcox says in his official report of this 
battle, that the Seventeenth "performed a feat that may vie w-ith any recorded in the annals of the war." It 
fought agam, three days later, at Antietam, losing there 18 ki'led and 89 wounded. The Ninth Corps was 
ordered to Kentucky in March, 1S63, and thence to Vicksburg, .md then to East Tennessee. The Seventeenth 
was engaged in a sharp fight at Campbell's Station, Tenn., — November 16, 1863, — in which it lost 7 killed, 51 
wounded, and, 1 5 missing. It was in Knoxville during its besiegement by Longstreet, Lieutenant-Colonel Lorin L. 
Comstock being killed in the fighting which occurred there. The Knoxville campaign was unequalled during the 
war for the privation and hardships undergone by the troops. Returning to Virginia with the Corps, the regi- 
ment participated in the bloody fighting of Grant's campaigns. At the Wilderness it lost 5 killed and 37 
wounded ; and on May 12, 1864, in a charge on the enemy's works at Spotsylvania, it lost 23 killed, 73 wounded 
•ind 93 captured or missing, out of 226 engaged. The regiment was detailed soon after to serve as engineers, 
■)w which duty it remained during the rest of its service It was mustered out at Washington, June 3, 1865.

Notes, — Recruited in the Third Congressional District. It left Jackson, September i, 1862, and after a 
short stay at Alexandria, Va., joined McClellan'o Army at Sharpsburg, Md., a few days after the battle of Antietam. 
It was placed in the Ninth Corps, with which it marched to Fredericksburg, where it was under fire, with a slight 
loss in wounded men. It was then in the First Brigade (Poe's), First Division (Burns's). The regiment accoin- 
panied the Ninth Corps to Kentucky, and on May loth, 1863, had a brisk fight at Horse Shoe Bend, Ky., on the 
Cumberland River, where it was attacked by General John Morgan, who was then making his famous raid. The 
regiment lost 5 killed, 19 wounded, and 5 missing. Its gallant defence, after being summoned to surrender by a 
vastly superior force, made this fight a notable one among the minor actions of the war. After participating in the 
Vicksburg campaign, and then in the fighting in East Tennessee, during which Lieutenant-Colonel W. H. Smith, 
its commanding officer, was killed in the affair at Campbell's Station, it returned to Virginia where it took 
a prominent part in all the battles of the Ninth Corps in 1864-5. I' entered the Wilderness campaign in the 
Second Brigade, Third Division (Willcox's, afterwards the First Division), and at Spotsylvania, May 12th, was en- 
gaged in the hardest fighting of its whole experience. It lost that day, 1 7 killed, 108 wounded, and 19 missing ; 
total, 144. On June 18, 1864, it participated in the assault of the Ninth Corps at Petersburg, losing half its men, 
Major George C. Barnes falling mortally wounded. After this battle the regiment numbered only 106 muskets.

Notes. — The largest number of casualties in any regiment at Gettysburg occurred in the Twenty- fourth 
Michigan. It was then in the Iron Brigade, Wadsworth's (ist) Division, First Corps, and fought in the battle of 
the first day, while in position in McPherson's woods near Willoughby Run. It was obliged to fall back from this 
line, but did not yield the ground until three-fourths of its number had been struck down. Entering the engage- 
ment with 28 officers and 468 men, it lost 69 killed, 247 wounded, and 47 missing; total, 363.* Fully one-half 
of the missing ones were killed or wounded. Eight officers were killed, and fourteen wounded ; four color-bearers 
were killed, and three wounded ; Colonel Morrow was wounded and captured. 

Upon the discontinuance of the First Corps, in March, 1864, Wadsworth's Division was transferred to the 
Fifth Corps, becoming the Fourth Division, with the brigade under command of General Cutler. At the Wilder- 
ness, the regiment captured the colors of the Forty-Eighth Virginia ; Colonel Morrow was severely wounded, and 
the casualties amounted to 14 killed, 48 wounded, and 42 missing or captured. Under command of Lieutenant- 
Colonel Albert M. Edwards, it was under fire at Spotsylvania in the various engagements near that place, sustain- 
ing a loss of 20 killed, 39 wounded, and i missing. The regiment became so reduced by its losses tliat it mus- 
tered only 120 men for the assault on Petersburg, June 18, 1864. It was withdrawn from the field in February, 
1865, and ordered to Springfield, 111., wliere it was assigned to duty at the draft rendezvous. The regiment was 
mustered into the United States service August 15, 1S62, having been recruited within thirty days. It was mus- 
tered out, at Detroit, June 30, 1865. 



•Colonel Morrow, in his report, states the loss at V!) killed. 237 wounded, and "about" 83 missing. Tbenon 
Edwards after the battle shows 303 casualties, but divided difi'ereut from the above.

Notes. — Originally a three months regiment which, upon its return, reorganized on a three years enlistment. 
It left the State October 28, 1861, proceeding to Kentucky, where it joined Negley's Brigade. It wintered at 
Munfordville, Ky., remaining there until February 14, 1862, when it marched to Nashville. While encamped 
near there its picket line was attacked, March 8th, in which affair one of the regiment was killed. The regiment 
made several long marches back and forth through Tennessee during the summer of 1862, and then, returning 
to Kentucky, participated in the battle of Chaplin Hills, October 8, 1862. It was then in Starkweather's 
lirigade, Rousseau's Division, McCook's Corps, and its loss amounted to 58 killed, 132 wounded, and 14 missing ; 
total, 204, out of 407 engaged. The regiment was present at Stone's River, but having been posted in the 
reserve, sustained- but slight loss. At Chickamauga it was in the Second Brigade, First Division (Baird's), 
Fourteenth Corps, sustaining a loss of 27 killed, 84 wounded, and 77 missing or captured ; among the killed were 
five line officers. It went into winter-quarters at Chattanooga, and in May, 1864, joined Sherman's advance on 
Atlanta ; the division was then under command of General R. W. Johnson. Although reduced in numbers, it 
participated in all the battles of the First Division, and was present at the fall of .Atlanta. It was mustered out 
October 13, 1864, the recruits and reenlisted men, 368 in number, having been transferred to the Twenty -first

Notes. — This regiment sustained the greatest percentage of loss of any in the entire Union Army. It was a 
fine regiment and well officered. Leaving the State June 20, 1 861, it went to Virginia, where it was brigaded under 
command of Colonel William T. Sherman, with which command it marched to First Bull Run; its casualties in 
that battle were 24 killed, 65 wounded, and 23 missing. In August, 1861, it was assigned to the command 
which afterwards became so famous as "The Iron Brigade of the West." This brigade, under General Gibbon, 
encountered hard fighting at Manassas (1862), in which the regiment lost 53 killed, 213 wounded, and 32 miss- 
ing, — a total of 298. Nearly all these casualties occurred at Gainesville, where the opposing lines faced each 
other at a distance of 75 paces; Colonel O'Connor was killed there. The loss at Antietam was 19 killed and 67 
wounded ; at Gettysburg, 26 killed, 155 wounded, and 52 missing ; Colonel Fairchild lost an arm at Gettysburg, 
Lieutenant-Colonel George H. Stevens was killed, and the casualties in the regiment amounted to 77 per cent, 
of those present. The Second fought at the Wilderness and at Spotsylvania, after which it was detailed as a 
provost-guard, having become reduced to less than 100 men present for duty, with both field officers wounded 
and in the hands of the enemy. On June 11, 1S64, it was ordered home for muster-out, the recruits and reen- 
listed men having been consolidated into a battalion of two companies, A and B, which were transferred in 
November to the Sixth Wisconsin.

Notes. — The above enrollment includes 586 conscripts and substitutes, very few of whom joined the regi- 
ment. The Third Wisconsin left the State on July 12, 1861, proceeding to Maryland, where for several months, 
it remained on duty in Frederick and along, or near, the Upper Potomac. While there, a forage party of three 
companies had a sharp fight with Ashby at Harper's Ferry, in which they held their ground against a superior 
force, but with a loss of 6 killed, and 8 wounded. In February, 1862, it moved with Banks's Corps up the Shen- 
andoah Valley, having been assigned to Williams's Division in which it remained without further transfer during 
the war. General George H. Gordon commanded the brigade. At Cedar Mountain, the regiment lost i 7 killed, 
66 wounded, and 25 missing ; at Antietam, 27 killed and 173 wounded, out of 340 engaged ; at Chancellorsville, 
18 killed, 74 wounded, and 9 missing. Lieut.'Col. Louis H.Crane was killed at Cedar Mountain, and Lieut.- 
Col, John W. Scott at Chancellorsville. The Corps was transferred, in September 1863, to Tennessee, and in 1864, 
under the designation of the Twentieth, was engaged in the advance on Atlanta. The regiment was hotly 
engaged May 25, 1864, at New Hope Church, Ga., where it lost 14 killed, and 97 wounded. During the Atlanta 
campaign it was constantly under arms and, almost daily, under fire ; its losses from Resaca to .Vtlanta, amounted 
to 23 killed, 162 wounded, and i missing. Having re^^nlisted, it preserved its organization until the close of 
the war, and marched with Sherman to the Sea.

Notes. — Arriving at Washington, July 26, 1861, it encamped on Meridian Hill, proceeding thence in Sep- 
tember to Virginia, where it was attached to Hancock's Brigade. It took a prominent part in the " superb " 
action of Hancock's Brigade at Williamsburg, its casualties amounting to 8 killed, 70 wounded, and i missing. 
In February, 1863, the famous Light Division of the Sixth Corps, composed of picked regiments, was organized, 
General Calvin E. Pratt in command ; the F"ifth was one of the regiments thus selected. In the successful 
storming of Marye's Heights, May 3, 1863, the regiment took a leading part in the assault made by the Light 
Division, earning a reputation for dash and bravery, and sustaining the heaviest loss of any regiment engaged in 
the assault; its casualties in that action were 35 killed, 122 wounded, and t,G missing; total, 193. In the bril- 
liant affair at Rappahannock Station, the regiment joined the Sixth Maine in its celebrated charge on the enemy's 
intrenchments, sharing the honors of the victory. Major Horace W. Wheeler fell, mortally wounded, in this 
charge, the loss in the regiment amounting to 10 killed and 49 wounded. The Fifth was ordered home for mus- 
ter-out July 12, 1864; the men with unexpired terms were consolidated mto a battalion of three companies, to 
which seven new companies were added in October.

Notes. — The regiment left Wisconsin July 28, 1861, proceeding to Washington, where it was assigned to 
the brigade which was destined to fill such a glorious place in the annals of the war. The Si.xth had the advan- 
tage of a year's drill and discipline before it was called upon to face the enemy in a general engagement, its first 
battle occurring at Manassas — August 28th and 30th — where it lost 1 7 killed, 9 1 wounded, and 1 1 missing. The 
regiment lost at South Mountain, 1 1 killed, 79 wounded, and 2 missing ; and at Antietam, three days after, 
26 killed, and 126 wounded Under command of Colonel Dawes, it won merited distinction at Gettysburg in the 
battle of the first day; all histories of that field mention the manoeuvre — and the part taken in it by the Sixth — 
by which a part of a Confederate brigade was captured in the railroad cut. The casualties at Gettysburg were 30

Notes. — The Seventh Wisconsin was one of the three regiments which lost the most men killed in battle 
'if any regiments in the Union Army. Its loss was not only numerically large, but tlie percentage of killed 
was also a remaikable one ; the percentage was even larger than shown here, because the enrollment includes 
256 conscripts, very few of whom reported for duty. The regiment left Wisconsin on September 21, 1861, 
going to Virginia, where it joined the Iron Brigade at Camp Lyon. The principal losses of the regiment 
were: at Second Bull Run, 31 killed, 153 wounded, and 33 missing; at South Mountain, 11 killed, 116 
bounded, and 20 missing; at Gettysburg, 21 killed, 105 wounded, and 52 missing; at the \Vilderness, 27 
killed, 155 wounded, and 35 missing; at Spotsylvania, 19 killed, 58 wounded, and 3 missing; and at Gravelly 
Run, 6 killed, 38 wounded, and 3 missing. The Iron Brigade was in the I'"irst Division of the First Corps; 
this division (Wadsworth's) was transferred in March, 1864, to the Fifth Corps, becoming the Fourth Division. 
In February, 1S65, the Sixth and Seventh Wisconsin regiments were assigned to Kellogg's (ist) Brigade, 
Crawford's (3d) Division, Fifth Corps. In December, 1863, the Seventh numbered only 249 present for duty, 
a^U told, and in October, 1864. only 156 muskets were present at the fight on the Boydton Road.

Notes. — Organized at Madison, Wis., and mustered into the United States ser\'ice on January 31, 1862. 
After a few weeks of drill and discipline it left the State March 13, proceeding to St. Louis, and thence to Pitts- 
burg Landing, Tenn., where General Grant's Army was then encamped. It was assigned to Peabody's (ist) 
Brigade, Prentiss's (6th) Division, Army of the Tennessee, and was engaged soon after its arrival in the great 
battle of Shiloh. On the morning of that battle, April 6th, the pickets of the Sixteenth Wisconsin received the 
first fire of the enemy ; the regiment was hotly engaged soon after, its losses at Shiloh amounting to 40 killed, 
188 wounded, and 26 missing; total, 254. At the battle of Corinth, the Sixth Division was commended by 
General McKean for its efficiency ; the regiment took an active and meritorious part in the fighting, losing there 
7 killed, 28 wounded, and 10 missing. In November, 1862, the regiment was consolidated into a battalion of 
five companies, — A, C, E, G and I. The year 1863 was spent in Louisiana and Mississippi, encamped at various 
points, on duty with the Seventeenth Corps. During the spring and summer of 1863 the regiment was stationed 
near Lake Providence, La., proceeding in .August to Vicksburg, in which vicinity it was encamped until the spring 
of 1864. In March, 1864, four new companies joined the regiment; the old battalion reenlisted, and in Novem- 
ber, 1864, another new company joined, making ten companies again. On June 8, 1S64, the regiment joined 
Sherman's Army at Ackworth, Ga., the army being then engaged on the Atlanta campaign. The Sixteenth was 
then in the First Brigade (Force's), Third Division (Leggett's,) Seventeenth Corps. It was prominently engaged 
at Atlanta, July 22, losing 27 killed 88 wounded, and 8 missing. The regiinent marched with Sherinan to the 
Sea and through the Carolinas.

Notes. — A German regiment whose gallantry and soldierly bearing reflected credit upon its nationality. 
General William Cogswell, formerly Colonel of the Second Massachusetts, and hence an authority in such matters, 
in an official commimication to the Secretary of War, alludes to the Twenty-si.Kth as " one of the finest military 
organizations in the service. ' The regiment left Wisconsin on the 6th of October, 1862, proceeding to Fairfax, 
Va., where it was assigned to Krzyzanowski's (2d) Brigade, Schurz's (3d) Division, Eleventh Corps. Its first 
battle was at Chancellorsville, where it made a creditable fight, although the corps was placed in an extremely 
disadvantageous position. The regiment held its ground there until nearly surrounded, gallantly, but vainly, 
trying to stem the victorious onslaught of Jackson's charge; its casualties at Chancellorsville were 23 killed, 135 
wounded, and 40 missing. It was closely engaged at Gettysburg, and when the corps retreated through the town, 
the Twenty-sixth was ordered to protect its rear. Its loss at Gettysburg was 26 killed, 129 wounded, and 62 
missing; a heavy percentage of those engaged. In September, 1863, the corps was ordered to Tennessee, and 
in April, 1864, was merged into the Twentieth Corps, under General Hooker. The regiment thus became a part 
of the Third Brigade, Third Division (Ward's), Twentieth Corps. At the battle of Peach Tree Creek, Ga., it 
captured the colors of the Thirty-third Mississippi and several prisoners, its own loss amounting to 9 killed, and 
36 wounded ; its conduct in that affair elicited the highest commendation in the official reports. After partici- 
pating in the Atlanta campaign, the regiment marched with Sherman to the sea, and thence through the Carolinas 
to the Grand Review at Washington,

Notes. — Recruited under the call of February ist, 1864, lor 500,000 more men. It was organized at Mad- 
ison leaving Wisconsin on May loth ; Colonel Haskell was transferred from the Sixth Wisconsin, in which he 
was serving as an Adjutant. Immediately after arriving in Virginia the regiment joined the .Army of the Poto- 
mac, then at Spotsylvania, having been assigned to the First Brigade (Webb's), Second Division (Gibbon 's\ 
Seconci Corps. The regiment was under fire, for the first time, at Spotsylvania, May 19, 1864 (Fredericksburg 
Pike), where it was held in reserve ; it was engaged a few days later at the North Anna, and also at Totopoto- 
moy Creek ; on June ist, at Bethesda Church, four companies, — B, K, K, and G, — while on the skirmish line, 
made a dashing charge but with a heavy loss ; of 240 men engaged in thi,-, charge. 128 were killed, wounded 
or missing. 

Two days later the regiment was engaged in the storming of Cold Harbor, a desperate fight, in which it 
sustained a loss of 17 killed, 53 wounded, and 5 missing. The brigade commander, (.'olonel H. B. McKeen, 
of the Eight)'-first Pennsylvania, was killed in that assault, whereupon the command devolved upon Colonel 
Haskell, who fell dead a few minutes later. Colonel Savage succeeded to the command of the regiment, but 
fell mortally wounded in the assault on Petersburg, June 18, 1S64. In that engagement the regiment lost 16 
killed, and 107 wounded. It became so reduced by death, wounds, and disease, that it carried only 11 officers 
and 175 men mto the fight at Ream's Station; it lost in that action 134 men taken prisoners.

Notes. — The Thirty-seventh was recniited in response to the call of February i, 1864, for 500,000 more 
men, and was organized at Madison under tlie superintendence of Colonel Harriman, who had served previously 
as a captain in the Thirtieth Wisconsin. Six companies left Wisconsin on the 28th of April, 1864, two more 
companies joining them at Washington about two weeks later. The eight companies left Washington on the 
30th of May, proceeding by steamer to White House Landing, Va., where, on June loth, they joined the army, 
then at Cold Harbor, near by. The regiment was assigned to the First Brigade (Hartranft's), Third Division 
(Willcox's), Ninth Corps. The Thirty-seventh was in action for the first time in the assaults on Petersburg, 
June 17th and i8th; the regiment made a gallant charge on the enemy's works, but was obliged to retire with 
A heavy loss; its casualties amounted to 33 killed, 122 wounded, and 2 missing. While in the trenches 
before Petersburg, Company G joined the command. At the Mine Explosion, the regiment occupied a posi- 
tion in the Crater, which it was forced to abandon after having sustained a severe loss in its efforts to hold it : 
out of 250 who advanced to the assault, it lost 34 killed, 59 wounded, and 52 missing. It was transferred 
soon after to the First Brigade of the First Division, General Willcox commanding the division. It partici- 
pated in all the succeeding battles of the Ninth Corps, and in the dangerous duty in the trenches during the 
long siege. Under command of Colonel Green it took a prominent and honorable part in the successful assault 
of April 2, 1865, which resulted in the capture of Petersburg. In that assault, three companies of the Thirty- 
seventh were the first troops to effect an entrance in Fort Mahone, a stronghold located in front of the Ninth 
Corps. After Lee's surrender the regiment returned to Washington, where it marched in the Grand Review, and 
then encamped until July'26, 1865, when it was mustered out.

Notes. — The greatest regimental loss in any battle, in proportion to the number engaged, occurred in the 
ranks of the First Minnesota, at Gettysburg. In that battle, on the afternoon of the second day, the Confeder- 
ates had broken through Sickles's ranks, and were about seizing an important position within the Union lines. 
The only body of troops at hand was the First Minnesota. Hancock, desiring to impede the enemy's advance 
until rei-nforcements could be brought up, ordered Colville to charge the advancing Confederate brigade with his 
regiment. Alone and unsupported it attacked them, drove them back, and captured their colors. But it was ac- 
complished at a terrible cost ; of the eight companies engaged — 262 all told — 215 were killed and wounded. It 
is the largest percentage of loss recorded in the annals of modern warfare. It was in action again on the follow- 
ing day, its casualties at Gettysburg aggregating 5 i killed, and 173 wounded; total, 224. This regiment was 
organized April 29, 1861, and was the first in the Union .Array to be mustered in for three years. It fought at 
First Bull Run — then in Franklin's Brigade, Heintzelman's Division. Its casualties on that field were 42 killed, 
108 wounded, and 30 missing, the largest loss sustained by any regiment there. It was assigned, soon after, to 
the First Brigade, Second Division, Second Corps, in which it remained during its service.

strong, on March 19th, stopping at St. Louis where it was armed and equipped, and on the morning of April 6th 
arrived at Pittsburg Landing just as the battle of Shiloh was commencing. It had been previously assigned to 
Prentiss's Division, but being unable to find that command. Colonel Reid ordered the regiment into line, and 
it fought in McClernand's Division. Though entering a battle with so little preparation, it rendered efficient service 
and acquitted itself creditably. Its loss at Shiloh was 21 killed, 156 wounded, and 8 missing; a total of iS5,out 
of 760 engaged, .^t the battle of Corinth the Iowa Brigade was commanded by Crocker, and fought in 
McKean's Division , the Fifteenth, Colonel Belknap commanding, sustained the principal loss in the brigade, its 
casualties amounting to 1 1 killed, 67 wounded, and 8 missing, out of "about " 350 engaged. 

In the early spring of 1863, the regiment encamped near Lake Providence, La., and assisted in digging the 
military canal connecting the Lake with the Mississippi River. During the Vicksburg campaign of the following 
summer, the Iowa Brigade served in McArthur's Division of the Seventeenth Corps. The regiment reinlisted, 
and, returning from its veteran furlough, joined Sherman's Army, June 10, 1864, at Kenesaw, Ga. In the battle 
of Atlanta — July 21st and 22d — the regiment lost 178 men, killed, wounded, and missing, and captured the 
flags of two Confederate regiments. During the March to the Sea, arid through the Carolinas, the division — 
Fourth Division, Seventeenth Army Corps — was commanded by General Giles A. Smith, and the brigade, by

Notes. — Organized at Iowa City in August, 1862, leaving the State on September 14th. It was stationed 
at RoUa, Mo., during the rest of the year, and at other points in Missouri until March, 1863, when it joined 
Grant's Army, then commencing the Vicksburg campaign. It was assigned to Lawler's (2d) Brigade, Carr's 
Division, Thirteenth Corps. It was engaged at Port Gibson, the opening battle of the Vicksburg campaign, 
where it lost 2 killed and 21 wounded ; was in reserve at Champion's Hill ; was slightly engaged at Black River 
Bridge, where the brigade carried off the honors of the day. 

In the assault on Vicksburg, May 2 2d, it sustained the greatest loss of any regiment engaged, its casualties 
amounting to 27 killed, 118 wounded, and 19 missing. The brigade was formed for this assault by column of 
regiments, with the Twenty-second in advance, the point of attack being a fort on a hill in front of the column. 
The regiment passed the abattis, gained the ditch and planted its flag on the parapet, where it remained 
waving for nine hours. The assault having failed at other points, the gallant regiment was obliged to abandon 
the position which it had fought so hard to gain. At one time during the assault. Sergeant Joseph E. Griffith, 
of Company I. with a squad of twenty men, climbed the wall of the fort, and, effecting an entrance, engaged in 
a hand-to-hand fight, from which the sergeant and only one man returned alive. 

In August, 1863, the division (Washburne's) moved to New Orleans, and the regiment served in that 
department during the ensuing twelve months. In July, 1864, the regiment was transferred to the Nineteenth 
Corps, with which it proceeded to Virginia and fought under Sheridan in the Shenandoah Valley. At the 
battle of the Opequon it lost 11 killed, 63 wounded, and 31 missing; total, 105. It was then in Molineux's 
(2d) Brigade, Grover's (2d) Division, Nineteentli Corps.

back in disorder. Its loss at Champion's Hill was 35 killed, 120 wounded, and 34 missing; total, 1S9. From 
January, 1S64, it lay encamped at Algiers and in the defences of New Orleans, until March 13th, when it joined

Notes. — This regiment was recruited in Missouri and Illinois during the summer of 1861, and organized at 
St. Louis in August. On the 6th of .'\ugust, it moved to Cape Girardeau, Mo., where it went into camp and 
remained initil March, 1862, having been engaged in the meantime in several expeditions, reconnoissances, and 
skirmishes in Missouri, in some of which there was some brisk fighting, with several men killed or wounded. 
The regiment joined Pope's army, in March, 1S62, and was engaged in the operations about New Madrid and 
Island Number Ten. It moved thence to Corinth, where it took an active part in the siege. The gallantry of 
the Eleventh at luka, elicited special mention from General Rosecrans in G. O. No. 130, in which he calls attention 
" to the magnificent fighting of the Eleventh Missouri, under the gallant Mower." The regiment was also hon- 
orably mentioned in the oflicial report of Corinth. The Eleventh led the charge of Mower's Brigade in the grand 
assault on Vicksburg, May 22, 1S63. In that desperate struggle it was the only entire regiment of the Fifteenth 
Corps that reached the fort, and the only regiment in that corps that planted its colors on the parapet. Colonel 
Weber was killed in the trenches at Vicksburg. The Eleventh was also hotly engaged in the battle of Nashville 
— then in Hubbard's (2d) Brigade, McArthur's (ist) Division, Sixteenth Corps — after which it accompanied 
the Corps to Mobile, Ala.

Notes. — Organized at St. Louis in August, 1861. After serving in Missouri and Arkansas during the rest of 
the year, it marched, in the spring of 1862, with Curtis's Army of the South-west on the campaign which culminated 
in the victory at Pea Ridge, Ark. The regiment was then in Asboth's (2d) Division, but as it was in reserve at 
that battle it sustained but slight loss. In June, 1862, it moved with Asboth's command to Corinth, Miss. 
It was there transferred to Buell's Army of the Ohio, with which it marched on the Kentucky campaign, and was 
engaged at the battle of Chaplin Hills, Ky., it being then in Sheridan's Division. Three months later it fought 
at Stone's River, where Colonel Schaeffer, the brigade commander, was killed while leading the regiment. Colonel 
Joliat, who had resigned in November, 1862, was succeeded by Colonel Conrad, formerly l\[ajor of the Third 
Missouri. The regiment suffered its severest loss at Chickainauga, its casualties on that field being unusually large 
in proportion to the very small number engaged; it was then in Laiboklt's (2d) Brigade, Sheridan's Division^ 
McCook's Corps. Upon the reorganization of the Army of the Cumberland, in October, 1863, the regiment was 
placed in Steedman's (ist) Brigade, Sheridan's (2d) Division, Fourth Corps, remaining in that corps during the

wounded. General Sturgis, after having passed through many of the bloodiest battles of the war, once remarked 
that " for downright, hard, persistent fighting, Wilson's Creek beat them all." After this battle the regiment was 
stationed in Missouri until May, 1862, when it was ordered to Corinth. The summer of 1862 was spent in 
opening and guarding the Mobile & Ohio R. R. In January,, 1863, it moved to Young's Point, opposite Vicks- 
burg, where the regiment was mounted by order of General Grant. It served as mounted infantry during .the 
ensuing eighteen months, including the siege of Vicksburg, after which it joined the expedition to Natchez. 
During this time it was engaged, almost continuously, on scouting and outpost duty. In October, 1863, it re- 
turned to Vicksburg, and was stationed at Black River Bridge, twelve miles south of the city, where it went into 
winter quarters. The spring of 1864 was also passed in the vicinity of Vicksburg. On June i, 1864, the regi- 
ment, excepting two companies of reenlisted men and recruits, embarked on transports for home, its term of 
service having expired. While passing Columbia, Ark., the steamer w.ns fired on by an eight-gun battery, killing 
two of the men. The two companies remaining in the field were continued in service until August 30, 1865, 
when they were mustered out.

Notes. — The unique regiment of the war. Berdan's Sharpshooters were United States troops, in which respect 
they were different from other volunteer regiments ; each company, however, was furnished entire by some one 
State. In 1 86 1, General Berdan received authority from the War Department to organize a regiment of skilled 
marksmen from companies to be recruited in various States, and in March, 1862, it was ordered to the Peninsula, 
where it was attached to the Fifth Corps. The men took an active part in the Siege of Yorktown, their target rifles 
and deadly aim rendering the enemy's batteries nearly useless. While there, the men were supplied with Sharp's 
rifles of an improved pattern and excellent finish, manufactured expressly for their use. In 1863 the regiment 
was transferred to the Third Corps, and thence, in 1S64, to the Second. Itdistinguisheditself at Chancellorsville, 
where its skirmishers captured the Twenty-third Georgia ; its loss in that battle was i £ killed, 5 i wounded, and 
6 missing. At Gettysburg, Colonel Berdan with a detachment of his men, supported by the Third Maine, made 
the important and memorable reconnoissance on the morning of July 2d, which developed the movements of 
the enemy, but with a severe loss to the small number engaged. The regiment was also hotly engaged at Mine 
Run. where J.ieutenant-Colonel Caspar Trepp, then in command, was killed.

Notes. — Berdan's United States Sharpshooters were the best known of any regiments in the Army. It would 
have been difficult to have raised in any one State a regiment equal to Berdan's requirements. No recruit was 
eligible that could not make ten consecutive shots, whose aggregate distance from the center of the target would 
" string " less than fifty inches, an average of less than five inches for each shot ; the distance was Coo feet at a 
rest ; or 300 feet off hand. Many of the men could, at that distance, put all the ten shots inside the bull's-eye. 
The class of men selected were also of a high grade in physical qualifications and intelligence. The regiment 
was organized in 1861, and in March, 1S62, commenced active service, then in McDowell's Corps. At Antietam, 
— in Phelps's Brigade, Doubleday's Division — it lost 13 killed, 51 wounded, and 2 missing. It fought there in 
line of battle, infantry formation. Both of Berdan's regiments, however, were generally employed as skirmishers, 
and, consequently, never suffered the heavy losses incidental to heavy columns. They were continually in 
demand as skirmishers on account of their wonderful proficiency as such, and they undoubtedly killed more men 
than any other regiment in the Army. In skirmishing they had no equal. The " Second " seri^ed successively in 
the First, Third, and Second Corps; most of the time in Birney's Division, and in company with the First 
Regiment United States Sharpshooters. At the Wilderness the regiment lost 16 killed, 49 wounded, and 11 
missing; at Spotsylvania, 12 killed, 38 wounded, and 3 missing.

Notes. — The Eighteenth sustained the heaviest loss in action of any regiment in the Regular Army; it was, 
also, the largest regiment. In his proclamation of May 3d, 1861, President Lincoln directed an increase of the 
Regular Army, and the Eighteenth Lifantry was one of the three-battalion regiments created under this act. 
Headquarters were located at Columbus, Ohio, the recruits coming principally from Ohio, Pennsylvania, Indiana, 
and Illinois. The organization was to have contained three battalions of eight companies each, but the Third 
Battahon was never fully organized, and its companies were attached to the other battalions. In December, 1 86 1 , 
twelve companies took the field, four more companies joining this detachment in March, 1862 ; eight more com- 
panies joined during the year. At the battle of Stone's River, where the regiment encountered its hardest 
fighting, the First Battalion, with two companies of the Third, was commanded by Major J. N. Caldw-ell ; the 
Second Battalion, with four companies of the Third, by Major Frederick Townsend. The Regular Brigade was 
then under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel O. L. Shepherd, Eighteenth LTnited States Infantry, and was in 
Rousseau's (ist) Division, Fourteenth Corps. The Eighteenth took 603 officers and men into the fight at Stone's 
River, 48 per cent, of whom were killed or wounded. The First Division was commanded, at Chickamauga, by 
General Baird, and, on the .\tlanta campaign, by General Johnson ; the Regular Brigade (2d Brigade, ist Div'n, 
14th A. C. ) was untler command of General John H. King. After the .Atlanta campaign, in October 1S64, the 
regiment was consolidated into one battalion, and was withdrawn from active service in the field. [Courtesy cf 
Colonel Frederick Phisterer, late Captain and .Adjutant of the Eighteenth United States Infantry.]

Notes. — Organized at Philadelphia, recruiting having commenced in September, 1863. The field officers 
had seen service in other regiments. Colonel Fribley having served as a Captain in the Eighty-fourth Pennsylvania. 
The Eighth left Philadelphia, January 16, 1864, proceeding to New York, where it embarked for Hilton Head, 
S. C. After a short stay of two weeks, it sailed with Seymour's Division for Florida, where it was engaged, soon 
after, at the battle of Olustee ; it had been assigned, shortly before this action, to Hawley's Brigade. The fighting 
at Olustee resulted in a serious defeat to Seymour's forces, and the Eighth, after facing the enemy's musketry for 
over half an hour, retired slowly and in good order, its casualties amounting to 51 killed, 189 wounded, and 63 
missing ; the latter were all killed or wounded men. Colonel Fribley was killed in this battle. 

The regiment remained in Florida until August, when it accompanied General William Bimey's Brigade to 
Virginia, where it joined the Army of the James. At Chaffin's Farm the regiment, under Major Wagner, dis- 
tinguished itself by its gallantry and efficiency, losing there, 8 killed, and 60 wounded, out of abcut 200 in action. 
In the affair on the Darbytown Road— then in Doubleday's (2d) Brigade, Bimey's (3d) Division, Tenth Corps — 
it took only 150 men into the fight, losing 4 killed, 31 wounded, and 5 missing. Upon the organization of the 
Twenty-fifth Corps in December, 1S64, a corps composed wholly of colored troops, the regiment was placed in 
the Second Brigade, Second Division (General William Bimey's). Of the 166 colored regiments in the Union 
Armies the Eighth U. S. stands third in point of loss in action. It saw considerable active service in the field 
during the campaign of 1864-65, and was known as an efficient and reliable regiment. After Lee's surrender, 
the Eighth was ordered to Texas, where it encamped on the Rio Grande, at Ringgold Barracks, until October, 
1865, when it returned to Philadelphia for muster-out.

Notes. — Organized originally as the First Kansas Colored Volunteers, its designation being changed to the 
Seventy-ninth United States Colored Infantry, December 13, 1864. Recniiting commenced in August, 1S62, and 
within sixty days 500 men were enlisted and placed in camp, although not without the usual difficulty and oppo- 
sition arising from the prejudice against colored troops. On the 28th of October, 1S62, a detachment of recruits 
numbering about 225 men, under Captain H. C. Seaman, encainped near Butler, Mo. (Island Mounds), where it 
was attacked by a superior force under Colonel Cockrell ; the enemy were repulsed and driven off, — Seaman's 
detachment losing 10 killed and 12 wounded. Captain A. J. Crew being among the killed. This affair is note- 
worthy as the first fight in the war in which colored troops were engaged. A regimental organization was not 
effected until January, 1863, when six companies were mustered in ; the other four coinpanies were organized by 
May, 1S63. At Poison Springs, Ark., April, 1864, the regiment while on a forage expedition in company with the 
Eighteenth Iowa, one section of artillery, and a small detachment of cavalry, was attacked by a large force 
under Generals Marcy and Fagan. The Union troops were completely surrounded, but cut their way out, the 
regiment losing 189 killed and wounded, besides the missing. Colonel Williams was in command of the party. 
In the affair at Flat Rock, only one company (K), numbering 42 men, was engaged; it was surprised and 
attacked by General Gano, the company being nearly annihilated. In May, 1864, Colonel ■\Villiams was placed 
in command of the Second Brigade, Frontier Division, Seventh Corps, the regiment being included iu that brig- 
ade. Mustered out October i, 1865.

Notes. — In the attack on Fort Wagner, the regiment was assigned the honor of leading the assault, and, 
when the division was drawn up on the beach at nightfall preparatory to the attack, the order to advance was 
delayed until the Fifty-fourth marched by and took its place at the head of the column. It charged under fire 
over a long distance of sandy plain, reaching the ditch, where many of the men climbed the parapet and entered 
the outer works ; but the fort proved impregnable, and a bloody repulse ensued, the regiment losing 34 killed, 
146 wounded, and 92 captured or missing. 

The Fifty-fourth was organized in April, 1863, at Readville, Mass., and was one of the first colored regiments 
organized in the Northern States. The men came from the free colored citizens of New England and the Middle 
States, while many came from far Western States to embrace this, their first opportunity to enlist. Governor 
Andrews tendered the Colonelcy to Captain Robert G. Shaw, of the Second Massachusetts Infantry, who accepted. 
Shaw was killed at Fort Wagner ; he was the first n:ian on the parapet, where he fell, shot through the heart. At 
Clastee, the regiment lost 1 1 killed, 68 wounded and 8 missing ; at Honey Hill, 3 killed, 38 wounded, and 4 
missing ; at Boykin's Mill, 2 killed, and 20 wounded. After the close of the war it remained in South Carolina, 
on garrison duty, until August 20, 1865, when it was mustered out. and ordered to Boston, where the men received 
their final payment and discharge. 

Shortly after Olustee, the Sergeant-Major (colored), was commissioned a lieutenant by Governor Andrews, 
far gallantry in that battle ; but for along time the United States Government refused to muster him in, on account 
of his color. Admittance to the Invalid Corps was also refused a private who was disabled at Fort Wagner. 
Full pay was also refused these men for sixteen months. On seven successive pay-days they were tendered ^7 
per month ; but each time it was refused and a white soldier's pay demanded. On September 28, 1864, the men 
were paid in full from the date of enlistment, at ^13 per month. 






CHAPTER XI. 



LIST OF BATTLES, WITH THE REGIMENTS SUSTAINING THE GREATEST 

LOSSES IN EACH. 

TT is intended in this chapter to give a list of the battles and minor engagements of the war 

in their chronological order; and, with each battle or engagement, a statement of the 
regiments which sustained tlic greatest loss in that particular action. The figures thus given 
have been compiled from the Olificial Records of the Rebellion, either already published or in 
process of publication, by the War Department at Washington. The statement of the loss 
in each case is based on the nominal lists made out by the regimental commandants at the 
close of tlie action, and which are still preserved on file at the War Department. These 
nominal lists have, in many instances, been revised and corrected in accordance with subse- 
quent information. Where it-has been ascertained that captured or missing men have been 
killed or wounded ; or that men x'eported as killed were among the captured, and were still 
alive ; or that men reported as missing were stragglers, who reported for duty soon after, - 
these lists and their totals have been amended accordingly. 

These lists are made out in "Killed, Wounded, and Missing," and show the casualties as 
reported at the close of the action. Consequently, the mortally ivoanded are included ivilh 
the ivounded. This fact must be borne in mind, as it will be needed, at times, in accounting 
for a seeming discrepancj', — cases where a regimental historian, or others, places the number 
of killed at a higher figure, they having included with the killed those who died of wounds. 

Among the missing there must have been many wounded man, and many who were 
killed. The captured men are also included under this head, and, in many cases, the missing 
ones were all, or nearly all, prisoners. Then there are cases in which the missing were, for 
the most part, killed or wounded, the nominal lists not having been amended accordingly. 

The nature or hi.story of the battle will, generally, throw some light on the fate of the 
missing. From Fredericksburg and Cold Harbor but few of the missing ones ever retiu-ned ; 
they fell close to the enemy's woi-ks, and in the repulse, or swift retreat, were left to be 
buried by the enemy. But, in actions like Ream's Station or Poplar Spring Church, the his- 
tory of the fight tells of flanking m3vem3nts with large captures of prisoners from certain 
divisions, and the student justly infers that the missing were captured men, as a]i examina- 
tion of the muster-out-rolls will show. 

In the following lists of greatest losses in particular actions, the regiment named first, 
although having the largest number of casualties, did not always sustain the greatest loss of 
life. The number actually killed, as increased by the deatli from wounds, will be found in the 
regimental sketch, — if one of the "Three Hundred Fighting Regiments ; " or, if tlie number 
of those killed and died of wounds exceed fifty, it will appear in the table given on pages 17-22. 

It will be found interesting to note these differences between the number of "killed or 
died of wounds," and the number of "killed" as stated in the casualty lists of "killed, 
wounded, and missing." The comparison will, in many cases, account for the missing ; as, 
many who were borne on the nominal lists as missing were subsequently recorded ou the 
muster-out-rolls as killed in that particular action. 

(42-i) 



Greatest Losses in Battles. 42% 

A remarkable feature of these casualty lists is the wide variation at times from the usual 
proportionate number of killed to wounded. This is due, quite often, to delay in making out 
the nominal hst after the battle. If tiie first sergeants hand in their company list of casualties 
promptly to the adjutant or colonel at the close of the action, there will, evidently, be less men 
reported as killed than if there is a delay of several days. In the latter case, many will have 
died of their wounds and tims be included with the killed, instead of with the wounded. As 
a large proportion of the )nortaUy wounded die witliin a few days after the battle, the ratio of 
the number of killed to the wounded would be changed considerably by delay in the reports. 
In some actions and in some campaigns it was difficult to make prompt reports of casualties. 
In some actions a division would be under arms for several days, momentarily expecting an 
attack. 

The nature of the fighting also affected the ratio of the killed and wounded. In a hot 
fight at close quarters, or in an assault, the proportion of killed is naturally large ; at long 
range, or in the second hne, or while engaged in "supporting battery," tlie proportion of 
killed is less than the common ratio. 

But casualty lists will fail to give an intelligent idea of the extent of the loss unless the 
number, or probable number, of men engaged is kept in mind. The average American regi- 
ment of infantry in the last war, while in active service, numbered about iOO muskets ; and, 
unless the number taken into action is definitely known, it will be safe to assume, in examin- 
ing the casualties, that the number engaged was not far from that amount. Newly organized 
regiments, fresh from their rendezvous, often took from TOO to 800 men into a battle ; but, if 
their first battle did not occur until after several months of campaigning, they would take 
only about 500 men into action. Then, there were regiments which became so depleted by 
battles, marches, campaigns, and disease, that they often went into battle with less than 200 
effectives. Some of these depicted commands were restored to an effective strength by 
accessions of recruits ; or, by transfers of UKni from regiments i-eturning home, these trans- 
ferred men having unexpired terms of enlistment. Even then, the regiment, thus recruited, 
would seldom numbei' over 400 effectives. 

From personal ob.servations at the time, and subsequent studies of official returns, an 
effective strength of 400 appears to have been the mo.st common. In many of the instances 
specified in the subjoined table of greatest casualties, the number actually engaged will be 
found in the list of maximum percentages, pages 28-34. 

The heavy artillery regiments have in some instances here been classed by themselves, 
their larger organizations requiring, in a fair statement of losses, that their casualties be kept 
separate from those of the small and depleted infantry commands. These heavy artillery 
regiments were not called upon to take the field until the spring of 1864, their first experience 
under fire occurring at Spotsylvania and Cold Harbor, in which actions each of these regi- 
ments had nearly 1,800 men engaged. But tlie bloody vicissitudes of Grant's campaign soon 
reduced these splendid commands to nothing but skeletons of their former selves. 

The casualties in the cavalry are also given separately in these lists. Their losses occurred 
mostly in cavalry battles, — cavalry fighting cavalry, with no infantry near. In many cases 
the losses are not large enough to warrant classing them with the heavier losses of the infantry, 
and, so, they are given separately. The cavalry losses in particular actions are not so remark- 
able as those of the infantry ; but, the mounted regiments were in action so much oftener, 
that the aggregate of casualties in one of their campaigns, or raids, would equal those of an 
average infantry regiment. 

The style of fighting which prevailed in the cavalry service during the Civil War was new 
and peculiar. The wooded countries in whi(-h they operated prevented any charges by lai'ge 
bodies of mounted troops. The cavalry used their sabres but little ; they fought dismounted, 



426 



Regiment.vl, Losses in the Civil. War. 



using their carbines only. Their horses were available for rapid movements or marches, but, 
in fighting, they relied on their carbines and dismounted tactics. 

Some of the regiments which were recruited for the cavalry service in 1SG3, experienced 
a long delay in receiving their horses from the Government, during which they were assigned 
to infantry divisions, where they fouglit and manoeuvred as infantry. 

The maximum casualties of the Light Ai'tillery, in particular engagements, will also be 
found appended to the following lists. 

Right here, however, it may be well to caution the reader against any assumption that 
the regiments most prominent in these casualty lists were, necessarily, the ones which ren- 
dered the most efficient service. At times some commands, by an exercise of dash and daring, 
accompUshed brilliant results with but shght loss, while others, under similar circumstances, 
succeeded only at a bloody cost. 

Among the leading regiments in point of loss at Gettysburg, as given here, the Twelfth 
Corps is scarcely represented ; and, yet, the services rendered on that field by that command 
were unsurpassed in gallantry and important results. The remarkable losses sustained by 
Johnson's (Confederate) Division and the three brigades attached to his command, wei'e inflicted 
by regiments which have no place in the list of those jii-ominent at Gettysburg, by reason of their 
casualties. Granted, that Greene's Brigade delivered that deadly fire from behind breastworks ; 
but, when Williams's and Geary's Divisions returned from Round Top, and found that during 
their absence their works had been occupied by the enemy, they became the assaulting 
party ; they drove the enemy out of the works, re-took the position, and saved the light. 
That, in accomplishing this, they could inflict so severe a loss and sustain so slight a one, is 
as good evidence of tlaeir gallantry and eflicieucy as any sensational aggregate of casualties.

462 Eegimental Losses in the Civil War. 

Although the fighting may be considered as having ended at Fort Blal^ely and Appoma- 
tox, still, some minor atfairs occurred afterwards. 

Upton's Division of Cavalry, while on the Wilson Raid, liad a sharp fight at Columbus, Ga.. 
on the lt'>th of April, 1865, and other divisions in Wilson's Corps were engaged at West Point, 
Ga., on the same date ; also at Macon, Ga., on tlie 20th of April ; and at Talladega, Ala., on 
the 22d. lu South Carolina, a provisional division under command of General E. E. Potter 
was engaged, with some loss of life, on the 18th of April, 1SC5, at Boy kin's Mills. Some 
fighting also occurred at Palmetto Eanch, Texas, on May 13th, 1865. 

But the war ended, substantially, at Appomattox, April 9, 1865. Fort Blakely, Ala., fell 
the same day, carried by a bloody assault. 

The war commenced on the 19th of April, 1661, and was officially declared as ended, 
August 20, 18G6. 

Casualties in Light Artillery. 

The following list of remarkable casualties in the light artillery is given in a separate 
class, as the small number of men in a light battery would not give their losses a proper place 
among those of the larger organizations. 

These artillery losses, though they may appear slight numerically, were really severe, and 
represent large percentages. Scarcely any of tliese batteries took loo men into action; many 
of them (lid not take 75 men into battle. 

The Eleventh Ohio Battery, in which the most remarkable loss occurred, took "about 105 
men" intt) action at luka,* of whom 51 were gunners, or helped serve the guns; most of 
the others were drivers. Of the 54 men at the guns, -46 were killed or wounded at luka. 
General Rosecrans says, in his official report of this affair, that ' ' Sands's Eleventh Ohio 
Battery, under command of Lieutenant Sears, behaved nobly. The fearful losses sus- 
tained by this battery show their unyielding obstinacy." Also, tliat it "was served with 
unequalled bravery under circumstances of danger and exposure such as rarely, perhaps never, 
has fallen to the lot of one single battery during the war." The Chief of Artillery also men- 
tions this battery in his official report, and says, "one officer and sixteen men were killed at 
their pieces, several of them being l)ayonetted by tlie enemy. I cannot speak in too high 
terms of the bravery of the officers and the men in this battery.'' The brigade commander 
states that "the battery fired with great rapidity and A\ith extraordinary accuracy of aim, 
which threw the enemy into confusion." This battery was in the possession of the enemy 
at one time during tlie fight, but it was soon recaptured. Three of the guns had been spiked 
— -done by their own gunners, some of whom were killed in the act — and the wheels and 
caissons were badly splintered by bullets. The charge on the battery was made by two Texan 
regiments. The battery fired 116 rounds, mostly canister, and some of it in double charges. 

Bigelow's Battery (9th Massachusetts) took 101 officers and men into its famous fight at 
Gettysburg. 

But, so men seem to liave been a connnoii strength of the six-gun battei'ies, when in 
action. 

The attachment of the men to their pieces developed a bravery which was heroic in the 
extreme ; they often accepted death rather than surrender their guns. 

When Loomis's famous Michigan Battery was ca])turedat Chickamauga, Lieutenant Van 
Pelt, its connnander, disdaining to retreat stood by the muzzle of a cannon shouting to the 
enemy to keep their hands off the guns, and was killed at his post.

Greatest Losses in Battles. 



463 



Captain Easton fell beside a guu at Gaines's Mill, shouting, "No ! we never suiTender," 
in reply to the demand, of the victors to give up hi? battery."- 

At Gettysburg, young Gushing shouts to his general that he will give them "one shot 
more," and fall^ dead as Pickett's men .surge up to the muzzles of his pieces. 

Of the noted batteries mentioned in the accompanying list of casualties, Kern, Woodruff, 
Burnham, Hazzard, DeHart, Dimmick, Rorty, Hazlitt, Leppien, McGilvery, Geary (of Knap's), 
Simonson, Erickson and Whitaker (of Bigelow's) — were killed in action. 

When closely pressed by a charge of the enemy, the gunners, though unarmed, would 
often defend their pieces with rammers and handspikes used as dubs. In the charge of the 
Louisiana Tigers on Ricketts's Pennsylvania Battery, at Cemetery Hill, Gettysburg, one of 
the assailants fell dead in the battery, killed by a stone which was hurled at him. 

!;iome of the light batteries sustained a remarkable loss in horses, killed in battle. 

Bigelow lost, at Gettysburg, 50 horses killed and 15 wounded, according to the official 
report of Lieutenant Milton, who brought the battery off the field.f 

Lieutenant Sears states in a newspaper article that the Eleventh Ohio Battery lost, at 
luka, "42 horses killed ujjon the field, and (a coincidence) 42 so disabled from wounds that 
they had to be turned over, unfit for sei'vice."' 

Lieutenant Snow. Fii'st Maine Battery, in his official icjjort for Cedar Creek, states that 
lie "lost 40 horses killed in harness." 

The maximum losses of horses killed in any one action seems to have been reached in 
these instances 4 at least, a careful examination of official reports fails to show any greater. 

The following list of remarkable losses in the light artillery, during the last war, em- 
braces every instance in which a battery lost twenty or more killed and wounded, iu any one 
action:

CHAPTER XII. 



LIST OF REGIMENTS AXD BATTERIES IN THE UNION ARMIES WITH MOR- 
TUARY LOSSES OF EACH — THE NUMBER KILLED AND NUMBER OF 
DEATHS FROM DISEASE OR OTHER CAUSES. 

A NOTHER interesting chapter in this stoiy of loyalty may l>e found in the statistics 
■^^ showing tlie total number of deaths in each oiganization from the Noitliem States that 
served in th« War for the Union. Tlie deaths incurred in battle are tabulated here separately 
from those induced by other causes, and the loss in officers is also given by it.self. 

Thgse figures are based on the records of the master-out rolls on file in the Military 
Bureaus of the various States, and have haan revised by a careful comparison witfi the 
records of the War Department at Washington. They have also Ijeen tested by the ca.sualty 
lists of the various battles, as pul>lLshed in the Official Records of the Reliellion, or awaiting 
puljlication. The figures are believed to be coirect ; and, beyond the possible change of an 
unit or so, will admit of no variation. 

In footing up the regimental losses of any State, a seeming discrepancy may ari-se 
between the total result and the figures of the War Department which are given elsewheie 
in these pages. This difference in the total losses of a State may be due to the following 
reasons: some soldiers who were borne on the muster-out rolls as "wounded and missing 
in action" are included in these regimental tables with the killed; while in the official statistics 
of the War Department none are counted as killed unless definite infomiation through offi- 
cial sources has been received to that effect. For this reason the total of killed in any State, 
as tabulated here by regiments, may exceed somewhat the figures of the War Department. 

On the other hand, the footings of the regimental losses from disease and other causes 
may, in some States, fail somewhat l>elow the figures of the Adjutant General's office at 
Washington. This difference is due largely to deaths among the " unassigned recruits," who 
are omitted in these regimental tables. These unassigned lecruits were seldom borne on the 
regimental rolls ; they never reported to the regiments for duty : and most of the deaths 
among them occun-ed at the North while in recixiiting barracks or camps of instmction. 
Hence, the deaths in this class are not considered in connection with the matter of legimental 
losses, although they enter properly into the State totals. 

Some minor organizations, in which deaths from di.sea.se occurred, are also omitted . 
companies or small IjattaUons which never left their State, or were organized in iHtJb, at the 
close of the war. 

For these reasons the State totals are not given, except in the official table issued by the 
Adjutant-General of the War Department at Washington, and which is reprinted elsewhere 
in these pages for that yiurpose. 

With each regiment is given the division and coips in which it sei-ved. In some cases a 
regiment served in different divisions, and, sometimes, in more than one coi7»s : but the 
division and coi-ps designated here are not intended 1o cover the histoiy of a legiment. but 
rather to suggest something which will assist the reader in identifjing the battalion and the 

(465) 



466 Regimental Losses ix the Civil War. 

campaigns in which it. served. Without this mention of some one division or corps, the 
figures would, too often, remain meaningless and useless. 

In designating the division, the name of its genei-al is used in preference to its numer- 
ical title. The soldiers were wont to so designate their commands, while liistorians invari- 
ably allude to a division by its commander's name. As many of the divisions served under 
difT^erent generals, and were known successively by these commanders' names, it becomes 
difficult at times to select the name which might most properly designate the command. 
In some cases the doubt was decided by using the name of the general under whom the regi- 
ment served longest. 

Still, to do all this accurateh- would necessitate a knowledge of the corps histories which 
few, if any, possess. It is hoped, however, that the name of the division will in each case 
assist in some degree to identify the regiment, to recall its history, and to throw some light 
upon the nature of its losses, — even though the name selected may not be the one best 
adapted to the purpose. 

In giving the date of organization, the day of the month has been omitted, as in many 
commands the companies were mustered in at various dates ; and, in each case, a large part 
of the men had enlisted and were in barracks a considerable time before the regiment effected 
its comidete organization and mustei'-in as a i-egiment. In some regiments there were men 
who had enlisted several weeks, often months, before their regiment was organized. On the 
other hand, some of the regiments raised under the second call (ISOJ) organized and left for 
the front within thirty days after the first man signed the roll. 

The total enrollments are omitted for lack of space ; but the number enrolled in three 
hundred of tliese regiments, the leading ones in point of loss, will be found in the various 
pages of Chapter X. The other regiments numbered about one thousand men each when 
organized, and received, on an average, 300 recruits. Some of them took the field with only 
800 men or thereabouts, and received but few recruits, while some others cari'ied 1,800 on 
their rolls. 

Where the number enrolled is not otherwise stated, the average infantry regiment may 
be considered as numbering 1,300, original members and recruits. The cavaliy regiments 
cai-ried ],S(t0 men on their rolls as an average, and the heavy artillery commands aliout i!,200. 
In the light batteries (six-gun batteries), 250 was a common enrollment. 

By noting these facts the regimental losses in killed will be better understood, and an 
appi'oximate idea of the percentage of loss will be obtained. 

These figures are far above the plane of ordinary statistics. They represent the measure 
of blood whicli an unflinching ]>atriotisni gave in exchange for the perpetuity of the Nation 
and the ransom of the Eepublic.

Notes. — Maine Regiments. — The First Cavalry sustained the greatest loss in battle of any cavalry regiment 
in the army ; an<l the First Heavy Artillery the greatest loss of any regimental organization in any arm of the 
service. The First Inflmtry was a three-months regiment, which was mustered in May 3, 1861. It left the State 
June I, and was mustei-ed out August 5, 1861. No deaths occurred in its ranks, and it is omitted in the 
preceding table. The First Veteran Infaatry was organized in the field, at Charlestown, W. Va., on the 21st of 
August, 1864, and vras composed of the retnlisted veterans and recruits with unexpired terms, which were left 
at the front by the 5th, 6th, and 7th Infantry when those regiments went home, at the expiration of their term 
of enlistment 

The 2d and 10th Infantry were enlisted for two years, and were mustered out in May, 1863, just after 
Chancellorsville which was their last battle. The 18th Infantry became the ist Heavy Artillery, leaving that 
infantry number vacant. 

The regiments, i6th to 20th inclusive, were organized under the second call for troops — the call of July 2. 1S62,

for 300,000 more ; the regiments 21st to 28th, inclusive, were organized in response to the call of .'\ugust 4, 1862, 
for 300,000 men for nine months' service. The remaining regiments went out in response to the different 
calls for three-years men. 

The greatest mortality from disease in any regiment from the State occurretl in the 15th regiment, and was 
undoubtedly due to the climate of the Gulf and Lower Mississippi, in which locality the regiment was stationed 
during much of its service. It was mustered out at Charleston, S. C., July 5, 1866, having served the longest of 
any regiment from the State. 



New Hampshire — The 5th sustained the greatest loss in battle of any infantry regiment in the war. The 
1st Inf.intry was a three-months' regiment, which was organized April 26, 1S61, and left the State May 25. It 
served under General Patterson in the Siienandoah, and was mustered out on the 9th of August. The 15th and 
i6th Infantry enlisted for nine months; the other regiments enlisted for three years. The 3d, 4th, 6th, 7th, and 
S:h Infantry re-enlisted for another term ; the 2d and 5th were filled up with recruits, which, with their retlnlisted

men, preserved their organizations, also, through the war. The 17th regiment failed to effect an organization, and 
the two cotnpanies which were recruited for it were transferred to the 2d regiment. The large number of deaths 
from disease in the 8th Infantry was due to the fatal cliinate of the Gulf States in which it served. Its loss in 
battle occurred entirely in the battles of the Lower Mississippi and Red River campaigns. The deaths from 
disease in the 16th Infantry occurred while in the Department of the Gulf, and within nine months, the regiment 
having enlisted for that term. The entire loss in action of the 14th Infantry occurred in the Shenandoah Valley, 
in the two battles of the Opequon and Cedar Creek, 59 falling, killed or mortally wounded, at the Opequon. 



Vermont. — The per centage of killed in the quota furnished by Vermont is far above the average, and is 
exceeded by only one other state. Its large per centage is easily understood by a glance at the battle losses of 
its regiments. The "Old " Vermont Brigade, composed of the 2d, 3d, 4th, 5th, and 6th Infantry, and the ist 
Heavy Artillery, lost more men killed hi action than any other brigade in the army. The Second Vermont 
Brigade, composed of the 12th, 13th, 14th, 15th, and i6th Infantry, was enlisted for nine months, and was

*Reeiilisted. 1 Six months service. JNine months men, 

present at Gettysburg, where three of the regiments, under command of General Stannard, took a conspicuous 
part in the repulse of Pickett's charge. 

The ist Infantry was a three-months regiment. It was organized at Rutland, May 9, 1861, and fought at 
Big Bethel. The other regiments enlisted for three years, and the ist Cavalry, the 2d Battery, and the 2u, 3d, 
4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, and gth Infantry reenlisted, and served through rhe war. The nth Infantry was 
changed to the ist Heavy Artillery, leaving that number in the line vacant. 

Mttssachusetts. — The 14th Infantry was changed to the ist Heavy Artillery ; and the 41st Infantry to the 3d 
Cavalry — leaving their original numbers vacant. The 3d, 4lh, 5th, 6th, and 8th Infantry served first as three- 
months' regiments, having volunteered in April, 1S61, at the outbreak of the war. The 6th became famous by 
reason of its fight in the streets of Baltimore. The 4th fought at Big Bethel, and the 5th was hotly engaged at 
First Dull Run. These regiments belonged to the State Militia, and volunteered a second time, under the Presi- 
dent's call of August 4, 1862, for 300,000 miUtii for nine months' service. The 5th, 6th and 8th volunteered for

the third time, in 1864, for one hundred days, and were stationed at Baltimore. In addition to the organizations 
in the above tabulation, the State accepted, in 1864, some separate unattached companies, 24 in number, which 
were sworn in for one hundred days' service. Some of these companies reenlisted for one year, and were 
organized as the 4th Heavy Artillery. The 2d Heavy Artillery lost two companies at the capture of Plymouth, 
N. C. ; they ntmibered about 275 men, of whom 173 died while in the hands of the enemy. The deaths in the 
39th include 102 which occurred in Confederate prisons, this regiment having lost 246 men captured in the 
battle at the Weldon Railroad. The loss by disease in the 30th Infantry was caused by the climate of the Lower 
Mississippi, where it was stationed for over two years. The 5th Battery — Phillips's — sustained the greatest 
percentage of loss (in battle) of any light battery in the volunteer ser\-ice. 

The 13th Massachusetts has a meritorious record in its small number of deaths from disease, its percentage 
of deaths from that cause being the sinallest of any three-years regiment in the entire army. There were 
regiments with a smaller nuinber of deaths from disease ; but they were two-years regiments, or carried a less 
number of names on their rolls. The extraordinary coemption from disease in the 13th Infantry would indicate 
that the regiment was composed of superior material.

"Huudreddajs' men. tOne year's tci-m. JReenlisted. §Tliiee months" service. 
Rhode Island. — The Rhode Island troops became prominent by reason of the fine regiment of light artillery 
furnished by that .State. The light batteries of this command were remarkable for their efficiency, and the con- 
spicuous part assigned them in all the battles of the Army of the Potomac. As a whole they were unsurpassed, 
and they made a record which reflected credit on their State. A comparison of their losses in action with 
those of other batteries tells plainly the story of the dangers which they braved. The 1st Infantry was a 
three-months regiment which was actively engaged at First Bull Run. The 6th and Sth Infantry fitiled to com- 
plete their organizations. The 1st Cavalry contained a battalion of four companies from New Hampshire, which 
w.is detached January 7, 1864, and placed in the ist New Hampshire Cavalry. The 2d Rhode Island Cavalry 
was organized with eight companies only, and in July, 1863, they were consolidated into a battalion of four com- 
panies, and transferred to the ist Louisiana (Union) Cavalry. The men objected to this transfer, and would not 
leave camp for their new quarters until surrounded by the Louisiana Cavalry, and forced to go. Two men who 
were conspicuously reluctant were led out by their new comrades and shot in front of the regiment, without a 
trial. After serving over a year in the Louisiana regiment, the battalion was re-transferred to the 3d Rhode 
Island Cavalry.

*Three-months' service. INine-months' service. *Reenlisted. gPeninsular Corps ( 18G3). 

Connecticut. — The ist Heavy Artillery is noteworthy as having served in the field through the war, and in 
the arm of service to which it belonged. Very few of the other heavy artillery regiments in the army saw any 
service aside from garrison-duty, except while acting as infantry. The ist Connecticut Heavy Artillery was or- 
ganized as the 4th Infantry, but was changed in January, 1862, to heavy artillery. It served as heavy artillery at the 
Siege of Yorktown, in 1862, and was prominently engaged during the Siege of Petersburg, the most of its losses 
in action occurring at the latter place. The ist, 2d, and 3d Infantry were three-months' regiments which went out 
in April, 1861, in response to the first call for troops, and were in action at First Bull Run. The 4th and 19th In- 
fantry became, respectively, the ist and 2d Heavy Artillery, thereby leaving those regimental numbers vacant. In 
the 8th Infantry, five men were executed for desertion, an unusually large number for one regiment. The deaths in 
the i6th Regiment include 154 deaths in Confederate prisons, over 400 of this regiment having been captured at 
Plymouth, N. C. The great mortality in the 9th was largely due to its service in the district of the Lower Missis- 
sippi, 153 of the deaths — or half of the number present for duty — occurring in the summer and fall of 1862 
jwhile stationed in the vicinity of Baton Rouge, Vicksburg, and New Orleans.

*Nine-niotiths' men. tC'olored troops. JKeenli-sted. §First Kew Tork Dragoons. II Mix's Battalion (a Co's). f Oneida Cavalry. 

New York. — The Empire State furnished the most men and sustained the heaviest loss of any State in the 
War. It sent 448,850 men to t'.i2 Union .Armies, of whom 19,085 were killed in battle, while 27,449 more lost 
their lives from other causes while in the service ; a total of 46,534 deaths. 

In addition to tiie number of men furnished, as just stated, New York sent 17,000 militia to the field for 
thirty day.s, which were not credited on the required quota. The National Guard of New York took a prominent 
and meritorious part in the war. In various emergencies it hastened to the front with a promptness that was 
surprising. Many of these militia regiments — notably those from the city of New York — were well drilled, 
perfectly equipped, and rendered valuable service — not only in guarding the lines of communication, but on the 
batdefield itself. At First Bull Run the three-months men of the New York State National Guard — the 8th, 
69th, and" 7 1 St Regiments — fought with a gallantry unsurpassed on all that bloody field. 

Nor was this all. Some of the National Guard regiments enlisted for three years, and taking the field promptly 
at the first call, gave the country the benefit of their previous drill and military experience. In this meritorious 
class were the 2d Regiment Militia, or 82d Volunteers; the 9th Militia, or 83d Volunteers; the 14th Brooklyn, 
or 84th Volunteers ; the 20th Militia (Ulster Guard), or the Soth Volunteers ; and the 79th '• Highlanders."

*ReenIisted and served through the war. 1 Served, also, as light artillery. JEnlisted for two years. 

In addition to the organizations which appear in the above tabulations. New York furnished the Army with 
1 7 regiments of militia fjr thirty days' service ; 16 regiments for ninety days ; and 1 1 regiments for one hundred 
days. Some of these, like the 7th Regiment, responded to the call in three different emergencies, and served 
three separate enlistments. 

Of these troops, the Seventh Regiment, National Guard — or 7th Militia, as it was called — was particularly 
conspicuous by the surprising celerity with which it went to the front in time of need ; by its superior drill and 
equipment ; and by the high standard of personal character which marked its rank and file. When the war 
broke out it was among the very first to take the field, leaving New York on the igth of April, with 991 officers 
and men, and by its timely arrival at Washington contributed largely to the relief of the threatened Capital. This, 
its first enlistment, was for thirty days. It volunteered again in May, 1862, for three months ; and, again, in June, 
1863, for one month. 

But the Sevenih rendered a far greater and more valuable service to the country by the large number of efficient 
and well-drilled soldiers, which went from its ranks to accept commissions in the new volunteer regiments. The

EEnlisted for two years. 

volunteers were lacking in drill and military experience ; the proficiency of the Seventh was well known, and 
membership in its ranks was a guarantee of character. Hence the volunteer ser\-ice made su^h demands on it for 
officers that 603 men of this regiment were commissioned in other commands during the war. It was the \Vest 
Point of the New York volunteer service. The Seventh has no casualty list of its own, but of the officers which 
graduated from its ranks, 4 1 were killed in battle, and i 7 died of disease while in the service. 

The first infantry regiments organized in the State — aside from the three-months men who volunteered so 
promptly in .April, 1861 — were enlisted for two years' service. All the infantry from the ist to the 38th regi- 
ments, inclusive, were in this class, and were mustered out in May, 1863. Hence, the losses in these regiments 
were smaller than in those which were recniited for a three-years term, or those which, having served their three 
years, rei nlisted for another terra and served through the war.

"Enlisted for two years. tReenlisteil and served throush the war. 

And, yet, there were no better regiments in the war, taken as a whole, than these two-year regiments from 
New York. They were composed of young men who volunteered promptly at the fir.st alarm of the war ; whose 
incentive was a true i)atriotism, combined with military ardor and that love of adventure which helps so much 
to make the daring and gallant soldier. There were no conscripts or mercenaries in their number ; the ranks of 
each regiment were recruited from that grandest type of manhood — the American Volunteers. 

It should be remembered that, although these two-year regiments were organized early in 1S61, the Army 
did not take the field until the spring of 1862 ; and that when the fighting did commence, they had cn'y a year 
to serve, which accounts for their comparatively small loss in action. Some of them, however — the 12th, 13th, 
i8th, nth (Fire Zouaves), and 38th — were engaged at First Bull Run. 

Prominent among these two-year regiments was the loth New York (National Zouaves), raised in New 
York City, which, by recruiting and reonlistments, preserved its organization through the war. In ."^pril, 1863, the 
two-years men in the regiment were mustered out, and the three-years men were formed into a battalion cf four 
companies, under Major Hopper, which remained in the field. During the first half cf its service the Tenth was

brigaded with the famous Dury^e Zouaves, and was attached to Sykes's Division of regulars. Although serving 
in company with the finest regiments in the .Army, its discipline and efficiency was such that it lost nothing by 
any c;omparfcon with the other magnificent troops of that division. In September, 1862, it was transferred to the 
Second Corps, in which it afterwards remained. The service of the Tenth was a long and varied one ; it was 
among the first to enlist, and it remained in the field until the last shot had been fired. 

.An interesting episode in the history of the Tentii was the organization of a working lodge of Master Masons 
in the regiment — the National Zouave Lodge (U. D.) — which found lodge-room in a casemate at Fort Monroe. 
These communications were attended, also, by brethren from neighboring camps ; thirty-four members were 
entered, passed, and raised; and, frequently, gray-clad soldiers of the Southern .Army — ])risoners within the 
lines — found their way to the spot and sat in lodge with their more fortunate brethren.* 

The 3d Infontry. though a two-years' regiment, also preserved its organization after its term expired, and

'Reenlisted, and served through the war. tFirst regiment to organize under tlie second call. 

battalion after the regiment went home, and this battalion remained in the field until Jime, 1864, when it was 
transferred to the 5th Veteran Infantry. After the 5th, 7th, and 1 7th Regiments had returned to New York at the 
expiration of their two years' term, and had been mustered out, other regiments bearing these numbers were 
organized from the disbanded veterans of the first thirty-eight infantry regiments, the 17th returning to the field 
with many vvho had served in the old organization. 

The I St Veteran Cavalry was composed mostly of men who served in the two-years' infantry, and was 
recruited largely from the veterans of the 27th and 33d regiments. The 2d Veteran Cavalry contained many of 
the veterans of the 30th Infantry. 

Attention is called to the large number of killed in the 7th, 19th, 26th, and 34th Infantry during their last 
yearof service. The 7th lost 243 killed and wounded, at Fredericksburg, out of 488 engaged ; the i6th lost 201 
at Gaines's Mill ; the 26th lost 339 in the two actions of Manassas and Fredericksburg, and the 34th lost 251 at 
Fair Oaks and Antietam. 

The 24th Cavalry and 2d Mounted Rides served dismounted — in the Ninth Corps — until November, 1864, 
most of their risualties in battle occurring while dismounted and serving as infantry.

The 85th New York lost 222 men who died in Confederate prisons, the regiment having been captured at 
Plymouth, N. C., April 20, 1864. The loss by disease, accidents, etc., in the i32d New York includes 31 men 
who were killed at Bachelor's Creek, N. C, May 26, 1864, by an accidental e-xplosion of torpedoes. 

The 107th New York was the first regiment from the North to organize under the second call and the first to 
arrive at Washington, in acknowledgment of which it received a banner from the State, and on its arriv.il at 
Washington was greeted by a personal visit from the President. It was a fine regiment, and though its casualties 
were not among the largest, it made a splendid record for discipline and efficiency. 

The 77th New York was also a fighting regiment, and sustained a loss in officers above that of the average. 
The loss of officers in its brigade (7th Me., 43d N. Y., 49th N. Y., 77th N. Y., and 61st Pa.) was without a 
parallel in the war, the five regiments losing 72 officers killed in action. 

The 144th sustained its loss in killed in the battles along the South Carolina coast, — at John's Island, James 
Isl.\nil, Siege of Wagner, Deveaux Neck, and Honey Hill, half of its loss occurring in the latter battle. 

The 141st New York encountered its hardest fighting and severest losses at Resaca and Peach Tree Creek. 

The following regiments failed to complete their organizations, and their numbers are accordingly vacant : 
the 17th Cavalry; 11th and 12th Heavy Artillery ; i66th, 167th, 171st, i72d, iSoth, 181st, and 183d Infantiy.

-Enlisted for nine months. 1 .Sixty-ninth X. Y. National Guard Artillery. {Enlisted for one year. §Three-months' serrice. 

Missing numbers in the line were also caused by transfers of regiments to a different arm of service ; the 7th 
Cavalry became the ist Mounted Rifles; the 15th and 50th Regiments served as Engineers; the 19th Infantry 
was changed to the 3d Artillery ; the 113th to the 7th Heavy Artillery; the 129 th to the 8th Heavy Artillery ; the 
130th to the 19th Cavalry (ist Dragoons) ; the 135th to the 6th Heavy Artillery ; and the 138th to the 9th Heavy 
Artillery. The 22d Light Battery, which was organized in October, 1862, was transferred soon after to the 9th 
Artillery. 

For various reasons some of the regiments were discontinued or disbanded before completing their term of 
enlistment: the 7th Cavalry, organized i.i October, 1S61, was discontinued after six months ; the ist Marine 
.Artillery was mustered out in March, 1863; the nth Infantry (Fire Zouaves) was disbanded in May, 1S62 ; 
the 53d was discontinued in March, 1862 ; the 55th was transferred to the 38th in December, 1862 ; the 87th 
was transferred to the 40th in September, 1S62 ; the loist was transferred to the 37th in December, 1862 ; the 
i45t!i\vas disbanded December 9, 1863, and distributed to the 107th, 123d, and 150th Regiments ; and the 163d 
was transferred to the 73d on January 20, 1S63. The 190th and 191st were small battalions which did not leave 
the State, the war endmg soon after their organization was commenced.

*Ke6ulistecl and served through the war. tEnlisted for nine months. 

New Jersey. — The record of the Jerseymen in the war shows that they were true to the patriotic memories of 
Princeton and INIonmouth. The Jersey troops became conspicuous early in the war by reason of the First and 
Second Jersey Brigades ; in fact, any history of the .'\rmy of the Potomac would be incomplete and deficient 
were it without frequent mention of those gallant commands. The First Jersey Brigade, proper, consisted of 
the ist, 2d, 3d, and 4th New Jersey, to which the 15th was added in 1862 ; the 10th, 23d, and 40th were also 
attached at various times. It was commanded successively by Generals Kearny, Taylor, Torbert, Colonel Brown 
(3d N. J.), and General Penrose. General Taylor was killed at Bull Run Bridge, while in command of the brigade. 

The Second Jersey Brigade was composed originally of the 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th Regiments, to which the i ith 
was subsequently added. Other regiments were attached to the brigade at different times. 

The Ninth New Jersey was a regiment which reflected credit on its State, and made a brilliant reputation in 
the Department in which it served. It fought in the battles along the North Carolina coast, and in 1864 was 
attached to the Army of the James. Its principal losses occurred at Roanoke Island, New Berne, Port 
Walthall, DrewTv's Bluff, Cold Harbor, and Petersburg. 

The Thirteenth NeHv Jersey is noteworthy on account of the remarkably small number cf deaths from 



New Jersey and Pennsylvania Regiments.

disease which occurred within its ranks. The regiments which marched by its side sustained far greater losses 
from this cause. And the Thirteenth saw an unusual amount of active service, too. It had not left the State two 
weeks before it joined McClellan's .Army on the Maryland campaign, and was hotly engaged at Antietam. It 
fought through the Atlanta campaign, marched through Georgia to the Sea, and then fought under Sherman in the 
Carolinas. In the latter campaign official acknowledgement was made of the signal and valuable service rendered 
by the Thirteenth at the battle of Bentonville. The extraordinary exemption of this regiment from disease was 
undoubtedly due to the superior material in its ranks ; the men were a clean, healthy, intelligent lot, and repre- 
sented the best element in the Volunteer service. A small loss by disease is a creditable feature in the record of a 
regiment, as well as a large loss in action. 

The nine-months' men from this State also made a good record during the short time they were in ser\'ice. 
At Fredericksburg the 24th New Jersey lost 136 in killed and wounded ; aud the 28th New Jersey lost 193 on 
that bloody field. The vacant numbers in the New Jersey line occurred through the following reasons : the i6th 
regiment became the ist Cavalry; the 32d the 2d Cavalry; and the 36th the 3d Cavalry; the 17th, 18th, 19th, 
and 20th regiments failed to complete their organizations.

•Served througli the war. tl'art of the regiment (the 2(1 I'enn. Provisional Ueav)' Art'yi served in the Ninth Corps. iEulisted for one year. 

Pennsyivania. — The percentage of killed in the soldiers of the Keystone State, as based upon the white 
troops, is greater than in the quota of any other Northern State. This high percentage of loss in battle was 
largely due to the fact that nearly all the Pennsylvania troops served in Virginia, where the territory was better 
contested and the war more prolonged. Then, again, the Pennsylvania regiments were second to none. The 
cavalry of the State were, as a whole, un.surpassed ; they saw plenty of hard fighting, and their total losses in 
action exceed the cavalry losses of any other State.* 

.•\ peculiarity in the numerical designations of the Pennsy'vania regiments was the consecutive numbering, 
irrespective of the arm of the service to which they belonged. The volunteer regiments, as fast as they were 
organized, were numbered as volunteers ; but at the same time some of them were given other numbers, pertain- 
ing to their arm of the service. The infantry regiments bore numerical designations identical with their volunteer 
numbers ; but the cavalry and artillery were numbered as such, their titles being synonymous with their numbers 
in the volunteer line. The cavalry and artillery w-ere never known by their volunteer numbers ; hence, the 



•Some of the cavalry regiments of other States failed to receive their horses ; they served dismounted, as infantry, and were cavalry only 
in name.

numbering— including, as it did, all arms of the service — had the effect of running the numbers of the last 
infantry regiments beyond those furnished by any other State, and creating an impression that Pennsylvania 
furnished more regiments than any other. No number was repeated in the Pennsylvania line, while in other 
States the numerical designations of the regiments were repeated by each arm of the service. 
The regimental numbers apparently vacant, with their synonymous designations, were :

*EnIiste(l for nine months. 

The first twenty-five regiments of volunteers from this State served in 1861, at the commencement of the 
war, but were enlisted for three months only ; these regiments are omitted in the above tabulation, except the 
nth and 23d Regiments, which reenlisted for three years and retained their original designation. 

In addition to these twenty-five volunteer regiments of three-months men, Pennsylvania sent to the Army, in 
1863, 34 regiments of militia for ninety days' service ; also, about 5,000 more emergency-men in separate com- ■ 
panies or battalions. Two of these companies served three years, and five of them nine months. 

The deaths in the first twenty-five volunteer regiments, and in the thirty-four militia regiments, in 1863, and 
in the miscellaneous companies, and in all other commands omitted in the above tabulated list of Pennsylvania 
organizations, — aggreg.ited 112 from disease and 2 killed in action. 

Five companies of Pennsylvania Militia were the first volunteer troops of the war that arrived at Washington, 
they having marched promptly to the defense of the National Capital at the first note of alarm. These companies 
were the Ringgold Light Artillery, of Reading ; the Logan Guards, of Lewistown ; the Washington Aitillery and 
National Light Lifantry, of Pottsville ; and the Allen Rifies, of Allentown. They entered the city at 7 p. m., oa

"Enlisted for nine months. 1 Enlisted for ono year. Jllundred-days' meu. 
the i8th of April.* On the following day, the 26th Pennsylvania and the 6th Massachusetts arrived at 
Baltimore en-route for the Capital, and in the fight with the mob in the streets of that city the 26th Pennsylvar.ia 
lost one man killed and several wounded. 

The nine-months regiments from Pennsylvania furnished some noteworthy items to the casualty lists of the 
war. For instance :

The greatest battle of the war was fought on the soil of Pennsylvania, and by a well-ordered fortune the first 

volley to greet the invading foe flashed from the rifles of a Pennsylvania regiment. To the 56th I'ennsylvania 

Infantry, Colonel J. W. Hofman commanding, belongs the historic honor of firing the first volley on that field. 

The skirmishers of Buford's Cavalry were earlier on the field, but were only holding the ground until the infantry

states officially that the 56th was the first regiment of his brigade to open fire.* 

Delaware. — Though one of the smallest States in the Union, Delaware furnished more men and money, in 
proportion to its military population, than any other State. 

The ist Delaware Cavalry was not a full regiment, but a battalion of seven companies, and in 1S64 it 
served, dismounted, in the Sixth Corps. The Delaware Heavy Artillery consisted of one company only — Ahl's 
Independent Company. The State furnished, also, an infantry company — Stirling's — which enlisted in August, 
1864, for one year; and a company of cavalry — Milligan's — which enlisted in July, 1S64, for thirty days. 

'Maryland. — Over 40,000 Marylanders followed the "old line bugle, fife, and drum" into the Union ranks. 
Including colored troops, the State furnished 46,638 men for the Union Armies, and paid commutation for 3,678 
more, — a total of 56,316.

The Maryland Brigade belonged to the Second Division, Fifth Corps, ajid was composed of the ist, 4th, 7th, 
and 8th .Maryland Infantry, together with the infantry command known as the Purnell (Md.) Legion. 'I'he latter 
organization had served previously in the Twelfth. Corps; and the brigade, itself, before joining the Fifth Corps, 
had served in the Eighth, and also in the First Corps. The 6th Maryland had also served in this brigade for a 
few months. The principal losses of the Maryland Brigade occurred while on Grant's Virginia campaigns of 
1864-65, during which it particularly distinguished itself, taking an active part in all the battles of the Fifth Corps. 
Colonel Dushane (ist Md.), the commander of the brigade, was killed at the battle of the Weldon Railroad, 
.'\ugust 19, 1864. 

Different regiments bearing the same number appear in the Maryland line, owing to the ist and 2d Maryland 
Eastern Shore ; and the ist, 2d, and 3d Maryland, Potomac Home Brigade. The designation of the ist Maryland, 
Potomac Home Brigade (Infantry), was changed to 13th Maryland Infantry, .Aprils, 1865. There was a cavalry 
regiment, also, known as the ist Maryland, Potomac Home Brigade. The ist Maryland Infantry, Potomac Home 
Brigade, was attached to the Twelfth Corps in 1S63, and was hotly engaged at Gettysburg, where it fought with the 
ist Maryland, C. S. A.' ' ^^

West Virginia. — The 9th West Virginia Infantry, composed largely of refugees, was prominently engaged 
at Cloyd's Mountain, where it led a successful assault, but with a loss of 45 killed and 144 wounded. In 
this action its color-guard entered the enemy's works in advance of the line, every one of them falling, 
killed or wounded ; and, after the fight, twenty-one men lay dead around the flags, twelve of whom were 
Confederates. 

The 2d West Virginia Infantry was changed to mounted infantry in June, 1863, and in January, 1S64, to the 
5th West Virginia Cavalry. The 3d Infantry was changed to mounted infantry in November, 1863, and to the

•Keeulisted and served through tlie war. 1 Composed of men detailed from the 2d Ohio Cavalry. 

Ohio. — The quota due from the State of Ohio, under the various calls for troops, was 306,322 men. The 
quota was not only promptly filled, but several thousand additional troops were furnished. Ohio sent 313,180 
men to the war, and paid commutation on 6,479 nnore ; total, 319,659. But many of the regiments enlisted for 
a few months only, and, hence, the Ohio enlistments, when reduced to a three-years' standard, were equivalent to 
240,514 men. 

The Roll of Honor from the State includes 35,475 men who died in the ser\-ice : of these, 11,588 fell in 
battle; 19,365 died of disease; 2,711 died while in the hands of the enemy; the remainder died from accidents, 
and various other causes, known and unknown. 

Missing numbers occur in the list of Ohio regiments for the following reasons: the 44th Infantry was 
changed to the 8th Cavalry ; the 109th Regiment failed to complete its organization, and the men were transferred 
to the ii3tli Ohio; the 112th, 119th, and 158th Regiments, also, failed to perfect their organizations, and their 
recruits were assigned to other regiments; the 13th Light Battery did not complete its organization; the 23d 
Battery was changed to Simmonds's Kentucky Battery, it having been formed by detaching Company E, ist

*Reenlisted and served throufjh the war. 1 Colonel James A. Garfield. 

Kentucky Infantry ; the 117th Regiment was changed to the ist Ohio Heavy Artillery ; the 127th Ohio was a 
colored regiment whose designation was changed to the 5 th United States Colored. 

Li addition to the regiments in the above tabulation, Ohio sent 23 regiments to the field in .'\pril, 1861, to 
serve three months. The most of these regiments, which volunteered for three months in 1 861, reorganized 
immediately after their return and enlisted for three years, retaining their old volunteer numbers. While in the 
three-months' service these regiments were engaged in active and arduous campaigns, and did considerable 
fighting, the three-months' volunteers from Ohio taking the most prominent part in the successful campaign 
which wrested West Virginia from the Confederate grasp. 

A noticeable feature of the Ohio troops was the State National Guard, which was organized in 1S63, pur- 
suant to an act of Legislature passed that year, to meet the obvious necessity fjr such a body of troops in 
protecting the State from invasions like that of the Morgan Raid, and in supplying the National Government with 
emergency-men when called for. The Ohio National Guard was w-ell organized, uniformed, drilled, and completely 
equipped; and, in the spring of 1864, Ohio sent 36,254 of these troops — 42 regiments — to the field for 100

*Keenlisted and served through the war. i Enlisted for one year. 

days. Part of them garrisoned the fortifications of Washington, and thus enabled the heavy artillery regiments* 
hitherto employed on that duty to ga to the front and re 'nforce General Grant. Part of the Ohio National 
Guard, a'so, went to the front, and one entire division of the Tenth Corps — General Orris S. Ferry's — was 
composed of these regiments. On entering the United States service the National Guard regiments dipped 
their former numerical designations, and were nimibered to conform to their place in the list of Ohio Vohmteers. 

In addition to the National Guard, the State organized and enrolled an efficient force of militia. In 1862, 
when Cincinnati was threatened by an invading army, 16,000 " Squirrel Hunters " marched to its defense. 

The vetemns of the Ohio volunteers reenlisted in large numbers ; 20,708 of them remained in the field after 
their three years' enlistment had expired, and ser\-ed through the rest of the war. It should be remembered that 
the volunteers who enlisted in 1862 were not eligible for the reenlistmcnts just referred to ; that only those who 
enlisted in i86i could ret'nli.^t, and that, owing to the depletion of the regiments resulting from three years of 
fighting and hard service, these 20,708 rei'nlistments must have embraced a very large proportion of the volun- 
teers of 1 86 1, who were remaining in the field at the close of their three years' term.

'Enlisted for three months. 

The 66th Ohio was among the first to accept the proposal of the National (Government for a re:nlistment, 
and was the first Ohio regiment to return to the State on the thirty days' '-veteran furlough " granted to all the 
"veteran volunteer" regiinents. The largest number of rei'-nlistments — 534 — occurred in the 39th Ohio, 
Colonel Edward F. Noyes. The next highest were :

In some of these regiments nearly every effective man reenlisted, and these reinlistments, together with the 
recruits, enabled many of the veteran regiments to preserve their organizations tiirough the war. 

Of the distinguished generals in the Union Armies, a remarkably large number came from Ohio. Generals

Kautz, William S. Smith, Crook, Stanley, Brooks, Leggett, the McCooks, Fuller, Steedman, Force, Banning, 
Ewing, (ox, Willich, Chas. R. Woods, Lytle, Garrard, Van Derveer, Beatty, Tyler, Marker, Opdycke, 
Carroll, and other noted officers, were born in Ohio, and appointed from that State, either to West Point or to 
some volunteer command. General McClellan's first service in the war was as the Major-General of the Ohio 
volunteers, and Generals Grant and Buell were born in the State. 

The io2d Ohio lost 70 men killed by the explosion of the steamer Sultana, on the Mississippi River, April 
27, 1865 ; and the 1 15th Ohio lost S3 killed in the same accident. 

Ohio regiments had the honor of furnishing the twenty-two soldiers who captured a locomotive and made 
the famous railroad raid along the line of the .'\tlanta & Chattanooga Railroad, in .April, 1S62. It was a daring 
deed, and without an equal in its thrilling story of danger, intrepidity, heroic suffering, and death.* The men 
who were detailed to carry out this wild romance were chosen from the 2d, 21st, and 33d Ohio Infantry. 

The 2d Ohio Cavalry was the leading regiment, in point of loss, in the mounted service of the State. 
General Kautz was at one time Colonel of this regiment. Its service was a varied one, fighting in the Indian

Territory, Arkansas, Missouri, and East Tennessee until April, 1864, when it joined the Army of the Potomac. 
Its fallen heroes, buried where they fell, form a vidette-line of patriot graves from the Missouri to the Chesapeake. 

The 9th Ohio was composed of Germans, and was known as the First German or " Prussian" Regiment. At 
Chickamauga this regiment lost 48 killed, 185 wounded, and 16 missing ; total, 249, out of about 500 engaged, and 
the heaviest loss but one of any regiment on the field. The 28th and 37th Ohio were also German Regiments. 

At Chaplin Hills, six color-bearers of the Third Ohio were shot down in succession, but the flag was not 
allowed to touch the ground, so promptly did each successive hero grasp its falling staff. 

The 2 2d Ohio was organized at St. Louis, and designated the 13th Missouri Volunteers ; but as it was com- 
posed mainly of Ohio men, it was transferred, in 1862, to the Oiiio line by order of the Secretary of War. 

The 75th Ohio, Eleventh Corps, was transferred to South Carolina in 1863, and thence to Florida, where it 
served as mounted infantry. 

The nth and 12th Ohio served, also, in the Kanawha Division of the Ninth Corps, and were engaged at 
South Mountain and Antietam.

Kentucky. — Though a Border State and repeatedly overrun with contending armies, Kentucky furnished 
79,025 men in defense of the Union. The State offered no bounties, nor did it enforce a draft ; it appealed 
solely to the patriotism of its people, and its calls for volunteers were met by a loyal, prompt response. 

It furnished 51,743 white troops, 314 sailors, 23,703 colored troops, and paid commulation for 3,265 ; in all, 
79,025. Reduced to a basis of a three-years' enlistment, these troops were equal to 70,832 men. Over ten 
thousand loyal Kentuckians lost their lives while in the service ; and, of the white troops, 2,478 were killed or 
mortally wounded in battle. 

In addition to the volunteer regiments, the State organized 11 battalions (3,772 men) under sanction of the 
War Department at Washington, in Julj-, 1863, which were known as the " Kentucky State Forces, " and which 
served as " Home Guards." Sundry other militia organizations, numbering 8,704 men, were also called into 
service and assigned to similar duty. These troops — 12,476 men — were not credited on the State's quota, 
although they rendered valuable service to the General Government in protecting the lines of communications, 
and in suppressing the guerrilla bands which terrorized the exposed portions of the State.

*Recnlisted and seiTed through the war. . tEnlisted for one year. tEnlisted for nine months. 

Among the general officers appointed from Kentucky were : Generals Anderson (of Fort Sumter fame), 
Rousseau, Thos. J. Wood, Crittenden, Johnson, Ward, Whitaker, Jackson (killed at Chaplin Hills), Fry, Burbridge, 
T. T. Garrard, Croxton, Long, Sanders (killed at Knoxville), Watkins, Shackleford, Nelson, Green Clay Smith,

That the Kentucky regiments did their share of the fighting is well attested by the heroic figures opposite 
their names in the casualty lists of the Western armies.

*Rp(-nIist!_-(l and served throuKli the war. tPart of this loss occurred while serving as infantry. 

General McClernand officially congratulated the Governor of the State on the meritorious part taken by 
Kentucky in the Vicksburg campaign, and added his "testimony to the gallantry, bravery, and good conduct of 
her officers and men in all that bloody struggle. They bore themselves with the unflinching steadiness of 
veterans, both under galling fires of artillery and musketry, and in making charges upon fortified lines." 

The losses in battle of the Kentucky regiments were more severe than the figures indicate, as the regiments 
were small. Nearly every regiment took the field before its ranks attained the maximum strength, and but few 
recruits were forwarded. The 60 regiments contained, in all, only 51,743 names on their rolls. 

Vacant numbers occur in the list of Kentucky regiments through the following reasons : the 29th, 31st, 36th, 
38th, 43d, 44th, 46th, 50th, and 5 ist Regiments were incomplete organizations, and their recruits were transferred 
to other regiments. The 41st and 42d Regiments were thirty-days men, who were called out at the time o< 
Bragg's invasion. There was no Battery D organized. The 33d Infantry was consolidated with the 26th 
Infantry on April ist, 1864. 

The 4th, 40th, 45th, 47th, 48th, 5 2d, 53d, 54th and 55th Regiments served as mounted infantry.

*Enlisted for one year. lEeenlisted and served through the war. tThree-months' service. 1861. 
Indiana. — This State sent five regiments of volunteers to the Mexican War, and hence it was deemed 
advisable, for historic reasons, to commence numbering the volunteers of the last war at the sixth regiment. 

Other missing numbers in the list of regiments are accounted for by the following synonymous designations :

companies selected for it served as independent batteries.

119 wounded,* and 231 missing; total, 380. It was changed to mounted infantry in April, 1863, and to the 8th 
Cavalry in October, 1S63. The 6th Cavalry also sustained part of its losses before it joined the mounted service, 
it liaving served originally. as the 71st Infantry, during which it fought at Richmond, Ky., where it lost 29 killed, 
n[* wounded, and 593 missing and captured. 

The 2 1 St Infan'ry was changed to heavy artillery in March, 1S63. Previous to that time it had sustained

From the foregoing it will be seen that an entire division of stalwart Indianians could have been formed, in 
which every man would have been six feet or more in height. 

Over 80,000 Indiana soldiers, however, were enlisted without preserving any record of their age and height. 

These figures approximate closely the ages and heights of the .American volunteers of the same classes. 
Dr. Gould, however, thinks that the figures show "that the Indiana men are the tallest of all natives of the United 
States, and these latter the tallest of all civilized countries."* 



Illinois. — This State sent six regiments to the Mexican war, and when the Illinois Legislature passed the law, 
in April, 186 1, authorizing the acceptance of regiments, it was provided in the Act that, "in token of respect to 
tlie Illinois regiments in Mexico," these new organizations should receive numbers commencing with the 7th, 

The first six regiments which were organized under this .Act — 7th to 1 2th Infantry, inclusive — were sworn in 
for three months' service, at the expiration of which they reorganized and enlisted for three years. Illinois responded 
promptly to every call for men, and was one of the few States which furnished troops in excess of its qrota.

Many of these regiments dropped their synonyms before the war closed, and were known only by their 
regular title; and, with some, the synonym" was never used except on the printed placards of the recruiting 
officers. 

The 9th, soth, 80th, S7th, 112th. and 11 8th Regiments also served part of the time as mounted infantry. 
Only one vacancy occurrpd in the list of Illinois regiments; the 121st failed to complete its organization. 
One regiment, known as the " Mechanics-Fusileers" or 56th Illinois Infantry, organized in November, 1861, 
to serve three years, was di.ibanded within four months, and another regiment, subsequently organized, was des'g- 
nated as the 56th Regiment. This latter regiment lost 11 officers and 195 men by the burning of the steamer 
"General Lyon," off Cape Hatteras, March 31, 1865.

Louisiana, November 3, 1863. 

In addition to the Illinois regiments specially mentioned in Chapter X, there were many other regiments 
from this State which had records equally meritorious, although their casualties in action may not have been as 
numerous. 

The 41st Illinois, Colonel Isaac C. Pugh, faced the musketryof many hard-fought fields, its "Roll of Honor" 
showing 115 heroes who fell in battle, out of a total enrollment of 1,029, — ^ l°ss of over 11 per cent. Its first 
experience under fire was at Fnrt Donelson, where it fought in General C. F. Smith's Division, sustaining a 
loss of 14 killed, 1 1 3 wounded,* and 3 missing ; total, 130. A-few weeks later it was engaged at Shiloh, it being 
then in Hudbut's Division, and fought at the " hornet's nest," where it lost 21 killed, 73 wounded,* and 3 miss- 
ing, Lieutenant-Colonel Tupper being among the killed. While at Memphis, in March, 1863^ a dispute arose 
among the generals as to which was the best drilled regiment in the Corps, and the matter was settled by a prize-

judges, which resulted in an award of superiority to the Forty-first. During the siege of Jackson, Miss., the 
regiment participated in the deadly charge, of Pugh's Brigade, which was the subject of so much criticism and 
censure, and in which it lost 27 killed, 135 wounded,* and 40 missing, — a total of 202 out of 338 present. 
Major Long was mortally wounded in this affair, y'hen General McPherson was killed, and his body sent home, 
the 41st was selected to accompany it as an esco;.,. 

The 96th Illinois, Colonel Thomas E. Champion, was another regiment which achieved a reputation as an 
efficient and reliable command. It distinguished itself at Chickamauga, where it fought in Steedman's Division 
of General Gordon Granger's Reserve Corps, holding its ground sturdily in the face of Longstreet's veterans, and 
retiring from the field only when darkness had terminated the conflict, Lieutenant-Colonel Clarke was killed in 
this battle, the total loss of the regiment amounting to 39 killed, 134 wounded,* and 52 missing; total, 225. 

The i8th Illinois, Colonel Michael K. Lawlor, was hotly engaged at Fort Donelson, fighting under McCler-

color-bearers killed in succession ; and Major Eaton, who was in command of the regiment, was also killed. He 
had resigned ten days previous, but, having remained with the regiment, he entered the fight with the men and led 
them gallantly until he fell mortally wounded. 

The 125th Illinois led the storming column of McCook's Brigade in the grand assault on Kenesaw Mountain, 
June 27, 1864. General McCook was with the advance, and fell mortally wounded on the enemy's works, having 
passed the almtlis. Colonel Harmon, of the 125th, took his place instantly, and while urging the men to secure 
the victory so nearly won, fell with a bullet through his heart. The regiment lost 61, all of whom weie killed or 
died of their wounds, in this assault, besides the large number of wounded who sur\-ived. 

liTkhigan. — The regiments from this State, with one exception, enlisted for three years, and they were kept 
at an effective strength by repeated accessions of recruits, which accounts partly for the large " Roll of Honor" 
in so many of the Michigan regiments. 

Each regiment completed its organization, leaving no missing numbers in the list. The 6th Infantry, how- 
ever, was changed to heavy artillery, July 28, 1S63 ; but the order authorizing this change specified that it should

"retain, un:il otiierwise officially designated, its infantry number." Its principal losses in battle occurred while 
serving a3 infantry and before it was converted to heavy artillery, during which it lost at Baton Rouge 15 killed, 
44 wounded, and 6 missing ; and, at Port Hudson, 20 killed and 129 wounded. An excessive p oportiun cf the 
wounded died of their injuries. 

.'\lmost the entire loss in battle of the 22d Infantry occurred in one action, at Chickamauga, after which it 
was assigned to duty as a provost-guard, and, at times, on duty as engineers. The 9th Infantry served most cf 
its time as the Provost-guard of the A rmy of the Cumberland, and was attached to General Thomas's Headquarters. 

The best known, and one of the most efficient of the Michigan regiments in the West, was " Innes's " First 
Michigan Engineers, which was composed almost entirely cf mechanics and engineers. Like the other engineer 
commands, it was a large regiment — 1,800 strong — containing 1 2 companies of 150 men each. In repairing the 
damaged railroads along the lines cf communications these men built bridges and trestles whose combined length 
could be measured by the mile, and erected block-houses by the score. The construction cf some cf these 
bridges, their size and height, and the marvellous quickness wi.h which they were rebuilt, constituted some cf the 
roost wonderful feats of military engineering. This regiment could fight also, as well as do other duty, and a

detachment under Colonel Innes won further distinction by its brilliant and successful defense of the army trains 
which were attacked by Wheeler's Cavalry during the battle of Stone's River. General Innes having been mus- 
tered out at the expiration of his term, he was succeeded by Colonel John B. Yates. 

Many of the Michigan regiments went to the front in 1861 with Colonels who afterwards were numbered 
among the most distinguished generals of the war. On the roster of the 2d Cavalry are the names of " Colonel" 
Gordon Granger, and " Colonel " Philip H. Sheridan. Generals Russell A. Alger and Robert H. Minty served at 
one time as Majors in this same reariment.

The 3d Cavalry was attached to the Army of the Frontier, and, like many of the Western cavalry regiments, 
served in Missouri, Arkansas, and in the Indian Territory, fighting in unheard-of battles, and losing its men in 
engagements which are never mentioned in history and which were never lettered on the battle-flags of the 
Republic. One of the principal losses of the 3d Cavalry occurred at Baxter Springs, Cherokee Nation, October 
6, 1863, where one company (I) attached to General Blunt's headquarters was attacked by Quantrell's guerrillas 
and forced to retieat with a loss of 33 killed and 14 wounded. The quartermaster was killed, and, of a regi- 
mental band which accompanied General Blunt, not a man escaped, the enemy giving no quarter.* 

The 1st Cavalry, also, lost 17 killed, 38 wounded, and 8 missing, in an affair at L'Anguille Ferry, .\rk., 
August 3, 1862, the Chaplain of the First being among the killed. 

The principal losses of the 12th Battery occurred in the heroic defense of /Mlatoona Pass, Lieutenant 
Amsden, who commanded the battery in this fight, falhng mortally wounded. The Twelfth was the only artillery 
present at that memorable engagement. 

The 8th Infantry, or " Eagle Regiment," became widely known by the live American eagle which it carried

♦Reenlisted and served through the war. IMounted Infantiy. {Enlisted for one year. SEnlisted for six months. 

The 37th Iowa, or "Graybeard Regiment," was a remarkable command. It was organized under General 
Order 89, State of Iowa, August 25, 1S62, which specified that the regiment should be "composed of active and 
vigorous men, over the age of 4j, and be assigned to garrison duty." The average age of the men thus recruited 
was 5 7 years. The rolls of the 37th, on which the age of each man is recorded, show that 3 of the recruits were 
over eighty, 7 were over seventy, and 1 23 were over sixty years of age. They enlisted for three years, and the 
hardy old pioneers performed their allotted duty as well as any regiment could have done. Had occasion 
demanded they would undoubtedly have gone into action cheerfully and acquitted themselves honorably. 

Many of the regiments from this State were brigaded by themselves. These Iowa Brigades made brilliant 
records in the field, and secured for their State a full share of the laurels of the war. Prominent among these 
was "Halls Iowa Brigade," of the Seventeenth Corps, composed of the nth, 13th, 15th, and i6th Regiments. 
These troops were brigaded thus in .April, 1862, under command of Colonel Crocker of the 13th Iowa, and 
served together until mustered out in July, 1865. Crocker, having been promoted Brigadier, was succeeded 
by Colonel Hall of the nth, who was in turn succeeded, in August, 1864, by General William W. Belknap, 
formerly of the isth. Colonels Raid and Chambers, also, commanded the brigade at times. It fought in all the 



Missouri, Kansas and Tennessee Regiments.

battles of the Army of the Tennessee, in the Vicksburg and Atlanta campaigns, marched with Sherman to the 
Sea and through the Carolinas, and took part in the final grand review at Washington. The 3 2d Illinois was 
attached to this brigade, in November, 1864. 

"Williamson's Iowa Brigade," of the Fifteenth Corps, was composed of the 4th, 9th, 25th, 26th, 30th, and 
31st Regiments, and was a splendid command. It was organized in December, 1862, with General Thayer in 
command, who was succeeded soon after the Vicksburg campaign by Colonel James A. Williamson of the 4th 
Iowa. General Williamson having been mustered out in February, 1865, he was succeeded by Colonel George 
A. Stone of the 25 th, who commanded the brigade on the campaign through the Carolinas. 

At Shiloh, an Iowa Brigade composed of the 2d, 7th, 12th, and 14th Regiments fought under command of 
General Tuttle, then Colonel of the 2d Iowa; and, in the Vicksburg campaign, an Iowa Brigade — 8th, 12th, and 
35th Regiments — under command of General Matthies, was attached to the Fifteenth Corps. 

Three Iowa regiments — the 22d, 24th, and 28th — served in Virginia during the Shenandoah campaign of 
1864. They belonged, previously, to the Thirteenth Corps, but were transferred to the Nineteenth just before 
that Corps embarked at New Orleans for Virginia.

There were only three missing numbers in the Iowa line. The 41st was a battalion which was transferred to 
the 7th Iowa Cavalry. The 4 2d and 43d Regiments failed to complete their organizations. 

Missouri. — The losses of the Missouri regiments were severe in proportion to their numerical strength. 
The regiments were small and received but few recruits. It could not have well been otherwise. Throughout 
the war the State was one vast battle-ground, and was continually overrun with contending armies. In addition

to the troops furnished the Union Army, the State was obliged to raise regiments to protect its own territory from 
the partisan bands which continually invaded it long after the main armies of the Confederacy had abandoned 
the field. 

With this purpose in view the regiments known as the Missouri State Militia were organized. These troops 
were mostly mounted men, and were enlisted " to serve during the war, in Missouri." They were efficient, 
reliable commands, and the frequent engagements in which they participated is evidenced by the large number of 
their men who were killed in action. 

In addition to the State Militia, some regiments were organized which were designated the United States 
Reserve Corps, and were enlisted for three months, after which they were reenlisted " to serve during the war, in 
Missouri." 

The State furnished 109, 11 1 men, exclusive of a large force of militia which was in active ser%'ice during most 
of the period of the war, and whose pay and expenses were borne by the State. In view of the terrible disad- 
vantages under which it was compelled to labor, Missouri made a loyal and gallant record, — one which will 
compare favorably with her sister States, and which entitles her to a place of honor in the history of the war.

'Loss occurred at Milliken's Bend. 1 First Louisiana Native Guard. {First Kansas Colored. §Second Kansas Colored. 

The ist Missouri Light Artillery was originally an infantry regiment — Colonel Frank P. Blair's — which 
enlisted for three months and fought at Camp Jackson, Boonville, and Wilson's Creek. In the latter engagement 
it lost 76 killed, 208 wounded,* and 1 1 missing ; total, 295. But few regiments in the war sustained a heavier 
loss in any one battle. After its three months' enlistment had expired, it returned to St. Louis, where it reorgan- 
ized as a light artillery regiment, and enlisted for three years. 

The County Regiments — Benton, Lawrence, Stone, Greene, Cole, and Ozark Counties — enlisted for three 
months only ; but it was three rnonths of active service, and included some hard fighting. 

The 7th Missouri Infantry won special distinction in the siege of Vicksburg by its gallantry in the desperate 
assault of May 2 2d, planting its colors on the enemy's works and losing six color-bearers killed in quick succession. 

The 39th Missouri lost 2 officers and 120 men killed in a massacre at Centralia, Mo., September 27, 1864. 
Major Johnson of the 39th, with a detachment of 147 men from his regiment, attacked a large force of guerril'as 
under the command of the Confederate partisan, Anderson. Johnson and his men were surrounded after the 
first volley, and, no quarter being shown, but few escaped alive. Major Johnson was among the killed. 

The designation of the 9th Missouri Infantry, which was organized in St. Louis, was changed to the 59th 
Illinois, as most of the men belonged in that State ; and, for a similar reason, the 13th Missouri became the 22d 
Ohio. The designation of the 13th Missouri proper was changed to the 25th Missouri. The 9th Cavalry was 
consolidated with the loth, leaving its number vacant. The 22d Infantry effected a partial organization, but was 
transferred to other regiments. The 16th, 19th, 20th, 28th, 34th, 36th, 37th, and 3Sth Regiments failed to 
complete their organizations. 



Kansas. — In addition to the regiments mentioned in the above list, Kansas organized three others, which 
were composed of Indians, and were designated the Kansas Indian Home-Guard. These regiments were organ- 
ized during the spring and summer of 1862, and ser\'ed until the war had ended. They fought in the numerous 
battles in the Indian Territory, and were also engaged in some of the battles in Arkansas and Missouri, — at 
Prairie Grove, and at Newtonia. These regiments were recruited mostly from the Creeks and Cherokees. 

The ist Kansas lost at Wilson's Creek 77 killed, 187 wounded,* and 20 missing; total, 284. 

The principal losses of the 8th Kansas were : At Chickamauga, 30 killed, 165 wounded,* and 25 missing ; at 
Missionary Kidge, 3 killed and 24 wounded ;* and at Nashville, 8 killed and 32 wounded.* At Chickamauga the 
regiment was in Davis's Division of McCook's (20th) Corps, but shortly after that battle it was assigned to 
Thos. J. Wood's Division of the Fourth Corps. "^ 

The number of troops furnished by Kansas was largely in excess of its quota, and was equal to 72 per cent, 
of its military population (white males from 18 to 45 years of age), as enumerated in the census of i860. 

"including the mortally wounded. 



Regular and Colored Regiments. 523 

Tennessee. — Although this State joined the Southern Confederacy, it furnished thirty regiments to the Union 
Army, organized from refugees and volunteers who enlisted without the inducement of bounty, many of whom 
had t J run the gauntlet of Confederate videttes, or avoid them by crossing the cold and desolate peaks of the 
Cumberland. 

The total number of Union soldiers from Tennessee was 31,092, not including blacks. Averaged on the 
basis of a three years' enlistment, they were equal to 26,394 men. The regiments were small, and were main- 
tained with difficulty at an effective strength. 

In addition to these 31,092 enlistments, 20,133 colored soldiers were recruited in this State. Of the 31,092 
white troops, 6,777 lost their lives while in the service. A part, only, of the Tennessee Union regiments are 
given in the above list, the ones selected being those which were most prominent by reason of their losses in 
action or otherwise. 

Of the deaths from disease in the 2d Tennessee Infantry, 382 occurred in Confederate prisons. The 7th 
Cavalry lost 193 from the same cause. The 2d Cavalry lost 260 men killed in the explosion of the steamer 
Sultana, near Memphis. 

Regular Army — The Regular -Army, prior to the war, contained nineteen regiments in all: five cavalry 
regiments (two of dragoons, two of cavalry, and one of mounted rifles), four artillery, and ten infantry. By 
authority of the President's proclamation of May 3, 1861 — approved by Congress July 21st — an addition was 
made of one cavalry, one artillery, and nine infantry regiments. 

It was further ordered that the nine new infantry regiments should contain two, but not more than three, 
battalions of eight companies each. This contemplated strength, however, was not attained. Some of them 
succeeded in organizing two battalions, but all the infantry regiments are now ten-company commands. 

The old regiments were small (maximum of ten companies), and all the regiments became so depleted by 
losses and lack of recruits, that, in 1863, they only numbered from two to eight companies each. Any comparison 
of their losses with those of volunteer commands should be accompanied by a statement of effective strength. 

At Stone's River, the "Regular Brigade," of Rousseau's Division, Fourteenth Corps, made a brilliant record, 
and earned a reputation as a most efficient and reliable command. The brigade was composed of the 15th, 1 6th, 
iSth, and 19th Infantry, and Battery H of the 5th Artillery. The i8th Infantry had two battalions ; the others, 
one each. The brigade took 1,566 officers and men into action, and sustained a loss of 94 killed, 4S9 wounded,* 
and 47 missing ; total, 630. The i6th Infantry lost 166 out of 308 engaged, or over 53 per cent. 

At Gettysburg the two Regular brigades of .\yres's Division included ten regiments, but they contained, in all, 
only fifty-seven small companies. Out of 1,985 present in action, they lost 829 in killed, wounded and missing; 
and, in Burbank's Brigade, out of 80 officers present, 40 were killed or wounded. 

Heavy losses were also sustained at Gaines's Mill by the 2d, 12th, and 14th Infantry ; at Manassas, by the 
14th ; and at Spotsylvania, by the i ith. 

The 9th Infantry was stationed on the Pacific Coast during the entire war. The 5th Infantry served in New 
Mexico. A part of the 8th Infantry was present at Cedar Mountain, where it fought in Augur's Division, Banks's 
Corps ; and some of the companies served as a provost-guard at General McClellan's Headquarters. The 
principal loss of the 3d Cavalry occurred at Valverde, N. M., and at Cherokee Station, Ala. 

Cdored Troops. — There were 166 regiments of colored troops organized during the war. Their total losses 
in battle amounted to 2,751 men killed or mortally wounded, not including the deaths among the officers, who 
were whites. 

The colored regiinents in the above list were the ones which sustained the heaviest losses in battle, and 
together with the 54th Massachusetts, 55th Massachusetts, and 29th Connecticut, represent over three-fourths of 
the entire loss in action of this class of troops. 

The regiments of Ferrero's Division sustained almost all their losses at the Mine Explosion and in the trenches 
before Petersburg. This division was also engaged at the Boydton Road, but with slight loss. The casualties in 
Paine's (formerly Hinks's) Division occurred in the first assault on Petersburg, June 15, 1864, at Chaffin's Farm, 
and at the Darbytown Road (Fair Oaks, 1864). The principal loss in-.Hawley's Division occurred at Deep 

Bottom, and Chaffin's Farm (Fort Gilmer). 

•Including the mortally wounded.

Regimental Losses in the Civil Wak. 



The most of those killed in the 73d fell in the assault on Port Hudson ; and the killed in the 2d Infantry, 
at Natural Bridge, Va. Eleven officers of the latter regiment, including the Colonel and Chaplain, died of 
disease at Key West, Fla., in the summer of 1864. 

There is no satisfactory explanation for the surprising mortality in the 5th Colored Heavy Artillery, and 65th 
Colored Infantry. The former regiment was recruited in Louisiana and Mississippi, and was stationed along the 
Mississippi river at various points between Memphis and Port Hudson. The most of the deaths were caused by 
fevers; and at one time the regiment suffered from small pox. It was organized at Vicksburg in August, 1863, 
and was mustered out May 20, 1866. Its original designation was the 9th Louisiana Vols., A. D. 

The 65 th Colored Infantry was also stationed along the Mississippi. It was recruited in Missouri, and 
organized at Benton Barracks, Mo., in December, 1863, as the 2nd Missouri Vols., A. D. Over 100 men died at 
the Barracks before the regiment took the field, the men having been enlisted by the Provost- Marshals through- 
out the State and forwarded to this Post during an inclement season, — thinly clad, and many of them hatless, 
shoeless, and without food. Many suffered amputation of frozen feet or hands, and the diseases engendered by 
this exposure resulted in a terrible and unprecedented mortality. 

Miscellaneous Regiments. — In addition to the lists in the preceding pages, there were several regiments 
from the Territories and Southern States. The deaths in these commands are embraced in the losses credited 
their respective States and Territories, in the table given in the succeeding chapter. Some of these regiments 
suffered severely in action; notably, the ist Colorado, which lost 32 killed and 76 wounded at Apache Caiion; 
the 1st Louisiana (white), which lost 123 killed and wounded at Port Hudson; and the ist Arkansas Cavalry, 
which lost over 100 men killed in the guerrilla fighting on the Arkansas Frontier. 

The remarkably large number of deaths from disease in some regiments includes the deaths in Confederate 
prisons, in which case the latter should be deducted in order to prevent an erroneous impression regarding the 
death rate of the regiment. 

The following named regiments sustained unusually heavy losses by deaths in Confederate prisons :

CHAPTER XIII. 



AGGREGATE OF DEATHS IN THE UNION ARMIES BY STATES— TOTAL ENLIST- 
MENT BY STATES — PERCENTAGES OF MILITARY POPULATION FURNISHED, 
AND PERCENTAGES OF LOSS — STRENGTH OF THE ARMY AT VARIOUS 
DATES — CASUALTIES IN THE NAVY. 

'TpHE statistics in this chapter, with the exception of the percentages, are compiled largely 
from the recent official publications of the War Department. They show not only the 
aggregate mortuary loss of the Union Armies during tlie War of the Rebellion, but show the 
losses sustained by each State, together with the various causes of death. 

The tables are based upon the statistics prepared in the Wiw Department at Washington, 
in 1885, by order of General Richard C. Drum, Adjutant-General United States Army, the 
work being done under the supervision of Mr. Joseph W. Kirkley, the statistician of that 
department. This work of the War Department was one of immense magnitude ; but it was 
done conscientiously and intelligently, and the extracts given here may be considered not 
only as official, but final. 

The period during which these deaths occurred embraces, in the Regular Army, the time 
between April 15, ISGl, and August 1, 1865 ; but, in the volunteers, it covers the time from 
the date of muster-in to the date of final muster-out of each organization. Soldiers who died 
after they had been discharged or mustered out are not counted, except those who were pris- 
oners of war at the time of their death. Most of the volunteer regiments were nuistered out 
in the summer of 1-^05; some remained in service until January, 18G6, and a few were not 
discharged until 1867. 

In presenting here these important statistics, the figures have been an-anged in tables so 
as to bring out clearly their important features ; and, to these have been added various 
columns of percentages which may be of interest m connection with the matter. 

In Table A, Colunui IV, the official figures for the enlistment, reduced to a three years' 
standard, are used as a basis in calculating the percentage of loss in the various States. As 
has already been explained, the terms of enlistment varied in length, and, although the bulk 
of the ainiy was enlisted for a three yeai's' term of service, many of the regiments were 
mustered in to serve for three months, six montlis, nine months, oaie year, or two years. In 
some of the calls for troops made by the President tliese different terms weie, at one time 
or another, specified in the proclamation. Of the 2,778,304 separate enlistments, there weie 
2,036,700 who enlisted for three years, including the veteran reenlistments ; 391,752 who 
enhsted for one year ; -1:4,400 for two years; 1,042 for four years ; 87,588 for nine months; 
108,416 for three months; 20,439 for six months; 85,507 for one hundred days; 2,('45 for 
sixty days ; 373 for eight months ; and 42 for four months. There were also several New 
York militia regiments which served for thirty days in vaiious emergencies, and bodies of 
"minute men" from other States, of v/hich no account was made. Reduced to a basis of 
a three years' term, these various euUstments were equal to 2,327,917 men recruited for 
three years' service.

It would be impossible to state the number of individuals who served in the war, as so 
many of the men, after serving a short term, enlisted for a second, and often for a third, 
time. Then, again, nearly all of the three years' regiments that volunteered in 1861 reenlisted 
in January, 1864, for another three years' term of service. There were 136,000 of these vet- 
erans who reenlisted and were counted twice in the number of troops (2,036,700) reported as

20.000 Kesulars who were in service at the outbreak of the war) are include! in the number of m;n furnished by the various States, but the 
exact share furnished by each State is nut known. For thia. reason, the actual percentage of loss by each State is somewhat larger than the 
apparent one. 

^Includes 35 deaths in the Engineer Battalion. 

enlisterl for tliree years, Many of the three-years' men who vfere discharged for physical 
disabihty or other reasjns, enhsted again in other )-egiments before the war had closed, and 
thus were counted twice. Over 300,000 men enlisted just before the close of the war, few 
of whom, if any, participated in any active serAace. It is doubtful if there were 2,000,000 
iudividnaL actually in sei'vice during the war. 

The smaller percentage of killed belonging to some States does not necessarily impl)^ any 
lack of fighting qualities, but rather that the troops from such States wei'e more largely 
assigned to post or garrison duty, and that a smaller projjortion of their contingent Avas 
engaged at the front. Still, in the heavy percentage of deaths in battle credited to Vermont 
and New Hampshire, one cannot help but trace a connection with the hard and continuous 
fighting which fell to the lot of the Vermont Brigade, and the Fifth New Hampshire. 

The number of ofiHcers and men in the Regular Army among whom the casualties 
occurred — as stated in Table A — is placed ofificially at 07,000, and the percentage of deaths 
is based on that number. But this number includes ehhstmeuts after the fighting had ceased.

•The percentages in this table (also, in Table A) are based on figures in Column IV, Table A. 

and, though correct as to the percentage of deaths from disease, the actual percentage of 
killed was much higher than indicated hy the figures given. At no time during the period of 
active hostilities did the Regular Army number, present and absent, over 20,000 officers and 
men. Its actual strength at various dates was as follows : 

■Da/f. . , Present. 

January 1, 1 80 1 U,(J63

March 31,1865 .._ 13,880 

As there were only thirty regiments in the Regular Army, it becomes apparent that their 
average numerical strength must have been small, and that their losses in action were severe 
in proportion to their numbers. 

The deaths from all causes, aside from battle -Column IT, Table A — are subdivided in 
Table B so as to show the loss from dirjease, by itself ; also, the additional lo.ss from disease

•The total deaths among colored soldiers while prisoners amounted to 291. Of these, 98 died of disease : 31 of wounds received in 
battle ; 25 were killed after capture ; 11 died from sundry known causes ; and laifrom causes not stated on the rolls. 

which occurred in Coiifederate prisons. The total deaths among the prisoners were J9, 498, 
divided as follows : from disease, 24,80(3 ; died of wounds received in hattle, 2,0"2 ; accidents, 
7 ; drowned, 7 ; killed after capture, 104 ; executed by the enemy, 64 ; sun.-,troke, 20 ; causes 
known but unclassified, 319 ; cause not stated, 2,039. With the exception of the loss from 
disease, the deaths among prisoners are included in the various classifications of Tables B and 
C. The loss among prisoners from "cause not stated" (2,039 deaths) was probably due, for 
the most part, to disease, and might with good reason be added to the 24,866 deaths from 
disease. Most of the deaths from wounds and executions, among prisoners, — together with 
some from other causes — occurred while in the enemy's hands, but before arriving at the 
prison pens. The total deaths among prisoners (29,498) include all who died while in the 
enemy's hands — whether in iirison, or on their way there, or in the field hospitals, or while 
lying disabled within the enemy's lines. 

Since the publication by the War Department, in 18S.5, of its exhibit of deaths during 
the late war, additional information has been acquired which has increased the number of 
deaths among the prisoners until the aggregate has reached a total of 30,156. 

Of the 9,058 deaths from accidents — Table B, Column III — 4,944 were from drowning. 
With the latter are included over one thousand who lost their lives in the explosion and 
sinking of the steamboat Sultana on the Mississippi Eiver ; also, those who were lost at sea 
by the sinking of the steamer General Lyon.

•Cause not definitely stated on the muster-out rolls ; was undoubtedly due to disease almost eutirely. 

In Table B, Column I, it is shown that 199,720 died from disease alone, in camps, hos- 
pitals, or at home. An interesting question arises here as to what proportion of this loss was 
due to army life. What is the normal death rate ? How many of these men would have 
died had they remained at home ? The tables in use by the actuaries of the life insurance 
companies show that of a thousand healthy men at the age of twenty-three — selected risks 
— eight Avill die within a year. AsvSuming the average strength of the army to have been 
1,000,000 men for four* years, and the average age to have been twenty- three, it appears that 
32,000 of these deaths would have occurred in time of peace, and that the excess was due 
solely to the fatal vicissitudes of a soldier's life. 

In Table C, a subdivision is made of the number represented by Column IV, Table B. 
The 2,031 deaths in Column VII, Table C — Causes known but not classified — include those 
" resulting from quarrels, riots, and the like, and which ai-e not definitely reported as nuuder ; 
from being shot for insubordination, or by provost-guardsor sentinels in attenipting to escape, 
or pass the lines ; from exhaustion or exposure ; killed while depredating upon the propeity 
of citizens ; and all other causes not embraced in the preceding columns. "f 

After accounting for all known causes of death, there still remain — Table C, Colunm VIII 
— 12. 121 cases of cau.se unknown. In these cases the name of the dead soldier is borne on the

muster-out roll, or "final statement," with the marginal remark, "Died;" but with no 
further statement to show the cause of his death. Undoubtedly, the most of these men, or 
nearly all, died from di.seasc ; and although tliey cannot be so included in any statistical 
exhibit, they should be borne in mind as a probable addition to the number of deaths from 
that cause. 

Many will deem it .strange that, with over 2,30(1,000 three-year enlistments, the total 
strength of the army, present and absent, never reached lialf that number. This can be 
partly explained by the large number discharged for physical disability incurred in the ser- 
vice. Over 250,000 men were honorably discharged for disabilities arising from wounds or 
diseases wliich unfitted them for further service. 

Another serious cause of depletion was the remarkably laj-ge number of desertions. The 
reported desertions during the war numbered 208,530. The Provost Marshal General esti- 
mated that 25 per cent, of these were wrongly reported ; that these men were absent uninten- 
tionally or unavoidably, — and placed the number of actual desertions at 201,31)7.* Of this 
number, 7n,520 were arrested and sent to their regiments. 

The desertions were most frequent in the Regular Army, 10,365 men having deserted 
from that arm of the service during the war, a loss of over 24 percent., while in the volunteer

•Includes deaths in the army only ; the deaths in the navy — among sailors and marines — are not included in any of these tables. The 
deaths credited here to each State occurred in the white troops ; the total of deaths among the cokired soldiers is stated opposite the item 
"Colored troops." 

service the average rate was fi per cent. In the Kansas troops the desertions exceeded 11 per 
cent, of tho enrolhnent, the percentage being the highest of any State. 

In addition to the deserters, there were thousands of otiier absentees. In March, 1SG3, 
the returns of the Army of the Potomac showed that 2,92:^ officers and 81,904 cnhsted men 
were absent, tlie majority of whom were absent without any known cause ; and in Decem- 
ber, 1862, a return of tlie Army of the Cumberland showed that with 76,725 present there 
were 46,677 absent. 

Desertions were frequent among tlie drafted men, for their service was compulsory ; but 
there were not many of this class in the ranks. Tlie Union Army was essentially a volunteer 
army. True, a conscription act was enforced ; but its provisions for exemption were so 
lenient that the number of drafted men actually held to service was only 52,068, a small num- 
ber as compai-ed with the total enlistment. In addition to the diafted men held to service, 
there were 75,429 conscripts who sent substitutes. These substitutes have generally been 
classed as mercenaiies ; but they were men who went to the war witiiout compulsion, 
and if they received money for the act it should be remember'cd that all the volunteers who 
enlisted during the latter part of the war received large bounties. 

Besides the substitutes just mentioned, there were 42,581 men who enlisted as substi- 
tutes for men who, although not drafted, were enrolled under the Conscription Act and were 
liable to future drafts, but who secured exemption therefrom by sending men to the field in

their place. There were, also, S6,72i drafted men who received exemption upon the payment 
of $300.00 each, in commutation. The best result of the Conscription Act Avas the stimulus 
which it gave to volunteering, lather than the number of men directly obtained by its 
enforcement. 

In Table F is given a comparative statement of troops furnished by each State, in pro- 
portion to its population. The military population — those between the ages of IS and 45 — as 
stated in the census of 18(30, is used as a basis for calculating the different percentages. 
The increase of the military population in 18G1-02 was greater, proportionately, in the 
north-western States ; and, hence, if the percentage of men furnished were to be figured on 
a census of 18G1-G2, their ratios would be decreased more than those of the Atlantic States. It 
should be understood, also, that the military population was proportionately larger in the 
new States of the West than in the older States from whence so many of these people 
emigrated. For instance : in Maine, the white males between the ages of 18 and 45 formed 
10.5 per cent, of the whole population ; in New York, 20.8 ; in Kansas, 29.7 ; and in Cahfornia, 
47.1, — the propoi'tion increasing with the westemi immigration. 

From the statistics in Table F it appears that the States of Delaware and Indiana were 
preeminently loyal, contributing more largely in proportion to their military population than 
any of their sister States. Some of the States, notably Connecticut, Kansas, Rhode Island, 
Massachusetts, Ohio, and Illinois, furnished moi'e men than the quotas demanded from them

by the National Government. In justice to the States which did not fill the quotas asked for, 
it should b3 stated that thej'^ either took exception to the figures upou Avhich their quotas 
were based ; or, that they claimed that they had fm-nished men which were not credited to 
them, or had been credited to other States. 

Tlie quotas demanded of the States in ISGl and 1862 were computed on a basis of the 
entire population, instead of the military class, and, consequently, bore harder on some of the 
Eastern States than on the newly-settled Western States, which had a larger military popula- 
tion, proportionately, to draw from. Subsequent levies, however, were based on a military 
enrollment made in each Congressional District by the officials of the Provost-Marshai- 
General. 

But the results obtained in Table F require modification in order that the statement may 
be complete and fair. The figures for the number of men furnished include the long and 
short enlistments, and favor certain States whose troops contained a larger proportion of three 
months' men or regiments Avith other sliort terms of enlistment. Some States, also, fur- 
nished money in commutation for soldiers, and in statistics like those of Table F it may be 
deemed that money was not a complete offset for men. Then, again, the military popula- 
tion, as enumerated in the census of 1860, embraced white males only, while the troops cred- 
ite:l in Table P to the various States include the colored soldiers from tho.se States ; and 
although these colored troops were, in some States, a serious drain upon the agricultural 
resources of the community, they formed no part of the military population in question, and 
might be considered as unfairly iuflueuciug the comparative percentages.

To forestall discussion on such points, and to arrive accurately at the percentage of its 
able-hodied whites which each State sent to the war, it becomes necessary to base a percent- 
age on the white troops alone (including sailors), and, further, to reduce their number to the 
common standard of a three years' enlistment ; also, to throw out the item of commutation. 
Having done this, the following result is obtained :

percentage ; and, yet, Delaware is entitled to credit for the money, the colored troops, and 
short-term regiments which she so promptly and liherally furnished. Kentucky is credited 
in this table witli a low percentage, but it should be remembered that this State furnished 
L'3, 703 colored troops, which do not enter into this calculation. Maryland and Missouri also 
supplied the army with a large contingent for the same arm of the service. 

The percentages of men supplied, large as they are, fail to do full justice to the States, 
because the military ages included many who were exempt from service on account of 
physical defects or infirmities ; and hence the actual proportion of able-bodied men furnished 
would in each case be correspondingly larger than the one stated. 

Although the Border States are credited with a lower percentage, their record is a highly 
meritorious one. While the more Northern States were confronted with the questions of a 
war, the border States had to deal Avith the additional and more serious ones arising from a 
civil war ; a strife in wliich brother would be ai-rayed against brother, neighbor against 
neighbor, and which would be characterized by all tlie terrible and distracting scenes 
engendered by such a contest. They were slave-holding States, but they resisted all importu- 
nities to join the Confederacy, and remained loyal to the Union, although they knew full 
well that such action would transfer the war to their own fields. Missouri knew that by 
remainiiTg in the Union her counties would be overrun by guerrilla bands and predatory inva- 
sions ; Kentucky stm'dily refused all overtures from the Confederacy, although it was plain

that the State would thus become once more " the dark and bloody battle ground " of history ; 
Maryland remained steadfast, and her fields resounded witli the tread of armies and the roar 
of battle ; and, in West Virginia, loyal regiments were formed of refugees who had left their 
homes, their fields, and barns in the hands of a ruthless enemy. It meant something to be 
loyal on the Border. 

And, yet, these States responded promptly to the calls of the National Government for 
troops, one of them surpassing all others in its lavish supply of men and money, while the others 
filled their quotas and did it without a bounty or a draft. The slave-holding States of 
Delawai'e, Mar^-laud, West Virginia, District of Columbia, Kentucky, and Missouri, not only 
remained true to the old flag, but furnished 301,002 men for the loyal support of an Admin- 
istration that received scarcely a vote within all their borders. 

CASUALTIES IN THE NAVY. 

The number of men in the naval service during the war was 132,554, of whom 7,000 
were ah'eady in the service at the outbreak of hostilities. There were 1,804 killed and 
mortally wounded in battle. This includes 342 who were scalded to death, while in action, 
by escaping steam from boilers which had been pierced by the enemy's shot ; also, 30S men 
drowned in action. The latter were men who went down with their ships. — their flag fly- 
ing, and their guns firing defiantly from port-holes level with the waves. In addition to the 
1,804 who lost their lives in battle, there were 2,226 wounded who survived their injuries. 

The deaths in the navy from disease and accidents numbered 3,000. This includes 71 
deaths from accidents ; 205 from accidental drowning ; 37 scalded ; and t>5 deaths in Confed- 
erate prisons. UuUke the army, the mortality from disease was, apparently, not in excess of 
the normal death rate of civil life. 

Subjoined will be found a tabulation of the principal naval losses in action during the 
war. If some of the casualties appear trivial, let it be remembered that on most of the 
vessels named the crews were small ; and that the loss of life, in proportion to the number 
engaged, was as serious as at Trafalgar or the Nile. 

The losses in many cases include men who were scalded to death, and men who were 
drowned ; but losses from such causes belong properly with the casualties, as much so as 
wounds from shot or shell. They were among the dire probabilities in every action, — deadly 
and terrible dangers which had to be confronted as well as the guns of the enemy. The 
changes in the methods of naval warfare, first introduced in the American W^ar, brought 
a class of casualties hitherto unknown in naval combats. Our sailors fought in previous 
wars without the terrible danger from exploding boilers and escaping steam ; and when their 
slowly-sinking Avooden ships went down in action, there were opportunities for escape far 
different from any offered on an iron-clad sent rushing to the bottom by the explosion of a 
modern torpedo. In the action at St. Charles, the gunboat Mound City lost 150 men, killed 
or wounded, out of a crew of 175, but 3 officers and 22 men escaping uninjured ; 83 were 
killed by gunshot wounds, or scalded* to death, and 43 others were drowned, or shot while 
struggling i]i the water. When the iron-clad Tocumsela led the column of monitoi-s across 
the torpedo line at Mobile,t it moved as a forlorn hoi)e which would not have been necessary 
in the naval combats of previous wars. In all that grand drama of heroism incidental to 
the Civil War, the Navy played no secondary part. 

* During the engagement a 43-pr>und shell entered a casement, killin? three men on Its flight and then exploding th3 ste im-drum.

CHAPTER XIV. 



THE GREATEST BATTLES OF THE WAR - LIST OF ^^CTORIES AND DEFEATS — 
CHRONOLOGICAL LIST OF BATTLES WITH LOSS IN EACH, UNION AND CON- 
FEDERATE. 

^ ETT YSBURG was the greatest battle of the war ; Antietam was tlie bloodiest. The 
laigest army was assembled — by the Confederates, at the Seven Days ; by the Union- 
ists, at the Wilderness. 

Gettysburg may be considered as the greatest battle for various reasons. The strategic 
issues involved were the most important ; it was the turning point in the fortunes of the 
Confederates ; the contending armies were not only large, but were at their best in point of 
discipline and experience ; while the loss of life exceeded that of any other battle field of the 
war. 

Antietam was the bloodiest battle. More men were killed on that one day than on any 
other one day of the war. There were gi-eater battles, with greater loss of life, but they 
were not fought out in one day as at Antietam. At Gettysburg, Chancelloi-sville and Spotsyl- 
vania, the fighting covered tliree days or more ; at the Wilderness, Cold Harbor, Shiloh, 
Stone's River, Chickamauga and Atlanta the losses were divided between two days of fight- 
ing ; but, at Antietam, the bloody work commenced at sunrise, and by four o'clock that 
afternoon it was over. /• /^.,»y y /r ^,»>\, ' 

At the Seven Days battle, Lee's army numbered y4,l?'S* effective men actually engaged, 
exclusive of non-combatants. There were present, 194 regiments and IG battalions of 
infantry ; 8 regiments and G battalions of cavalry ; and 50 batteries of light artillery,— equiv- 
alent, in all, to 1^20 regiments. The casualty lists show that each of these conmiands was 
engaged, and they specify the loss in each. It was a grand arn}y, composed of the flower of 
Southern manhood, and Lee never led its like again. 

At the Wilderness, Gen. Grant's army, including the Ninth Corps, numbered 118,TG9t 
effective men and 31G pieces of artillery. It included 236 regiments and ". battalions of 
infantry ; 35 regiments of cavalry ; and G-i batteries of light artillery. Thoy wen; veteran 
regiments, whose liven banners had waved amid the smoke of many hard fought fields. 

But these figures represent the fighting men only, and the armies of Lee and Grant, as a 
whole, were leally larger than these figures indicate. On April 30, .18G+, there were in the 
Army of the Potomac 10,o:i5 men on "extra or daily duty," and 031 more in arrest, all of 
whom were present with Grant's army at the Wilderness, in addition to the number who 

* Somo liistorians have accepted a Confederate ofBcial "estimate" wliich puts Lee's effective strength at 80,762. But this will not dn. 
There were too many infantry commands, unquestionably present and engaged, to warrant any such figures. The Confederate ofDcial reports 
of brigade and regimental commanders, for the .Seven Days,— including Gen. D. H. Hill's statement of the strength of bis divisiim.- state. In 
the mn jiirity of cases, the number of men laken into action by tho brigade or regiment. From these repiwts it appears that 105 infantry regi-

gives the number " pre,<ient " in each of his Virginia regiments and batteries, from which statement it appears that 23 i-egiments averaged +l« 
men priscnt, Avith cue battalion which numbered 21,'} present, and that 17 batteries averaged 71 men per battery.

As before, the missing includes the captured ; but tlie number missing at Fredericks- 
burg and Cold Harbor may be fairly added to the killed and wounded, as it represents men 
who fell in an unsuccessful assault. 

In connection with these matters the question naturally arises,— Which were victories, 
and which were defeats % 

To answer fairly and without prejudice would only invite bitter and senseless criticism 
fi'o'Ti both sides. It is too soon to attempt any discussion of this much vexed topic. Still, 
there are certain conceded facts relative to this matter which one might venture to recall to 
mind. They may be promised with the military axioms, — that when an army retains pos- 
session of the battle field and bui-ies its enemy's dead, it certainly cannot be considered as a 
defeated army ; and that when an army abandons the field, either slowly or in rout, and 
leaves its dead and wounded in tlie hands of the enemy, it certainly should not claim a victory. 

In the following named battles the Union armies remained in undisturbed possession of 
the field, the enemy leaving many of their wounded and most of their dead unhuried :

Other instances on each side could be mentioned, but they would invite discussion and 
are better omitted. 

There were 1 1 2 battles in the war, in which one side or the oth?r lost over 500 in killed 
and wounded. In all, there were 1,8S2 general engagements, battles, skirmishes, or affairs in 
Avliich at least one regiment was eiigaged. 

With this chapter is given a chronological list of the battles and minor engagements, 
showing tlie loss in each. Tlie figures are compiled from the battle reports and revised casu- 
alty lists in the "Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies," published, or in 
process of i)ublication, by tlie War Department at Washington. 

The figures in the table of Confederate losses are the ones officially reported by the Con- 
federate generals in command, or by thei. surgeon-general, to whom, in many instances, that 
duty seems to have been entrusted. There are no official Confederate casualty reiiorts for the 
latter part of the war, and so there is no statement of loss for several battles. Estimates 
might be quoted, but such figures are not within the province of this work.

CHAPTER XV. 



CONFEDERATE LOSSES— STRENGTH OF THE CONFEDERATE ARMIES-CASUAL- 
TIES IN CONFEDERATE REUIMENTS-LIST OF CONFEDERATE GENERALS 
KILLED— LOSSES IN THE CONFEDERATE NAVY. 

rpHE eleven States of the Southern Confederacy had, iu 18G0, a military population of 
■*■ 1,0GI-,193 with which to confront the 4,559,872 of the sain-3 class, balonging to the other 
States and Territories. Tliis number was largely supplemented diu-ing each successive year 
of the war by those who attained their eighteenth year of age, at which time the}' became 
hable to military duty.* 

The phrase " military population," as used in the Eighth Census, represented the white 
males batween the ages of 18 and -15, and included all who were unfit for military duty on 
account of physical or mental infirmities. Tliese exempts — which include, also, all cases of 
minor defects — constitute, in evei-y country, one-fifth of the military population. t Bat the 
Confederate recruiting officers did not insist on any high standard of physical requirements. 
Tlieir need was too pressing ; and they accepted all recruits or conscripts except those whose 
disabilities manifestly incapacitated them for military service. 

The Confederate States, however, could send to the war a far greater proportion of their 
military population than the Northern States, as they possessed a large agricultural population 
of blacks who were exempt from military service. The aggregate enrollment of the Confed- 
erate Armies during the whole war, according to their best authorities, numbered over 
600,000 effective men ; of whom not over -100,000 were enrolled at any time.:j: These eleven 
States furnished, also, 86,009 men to the Union Armies, receiving in return over 19,000 men 
from the Bolder. 

Many will hold, and with good reasons, that 600,000 is too low an estimate for the total 
number that served in the Confederate Armies. Their military population and swee|)ing 
conscription acts indicate more. The number of regiments which served continously during 
the war indicate more. 

A compilation made from the official rostei-s of the Confederate Armies as they stood at 
various battles, and at various dates covering the entire period of the war, shows that the 
diffdrent States kept the following number of regimental organizations in almost continuous 
service in the field : 

♦Durin; ttio four years immediately following the census of 18S0, the military population of the eleven Southern States was increased 
over 200.000 by the youths who attained their eighteenth year. At the 8;i'.iij tima, th3 military pipuiation of th3 other States and Territories 
was increased over OOO.COO from the same sotirce. The loss from those who passed their forty-fifth year was only half of the number gained 
from those nrrivins at 18 years, while such of the former as were already in the Army, were still held to service. 

tThe large number of persons who are unfit for military duty is shown in the following figures :

of partisan raugei-s ; and 16 batteries of light artillery. 
Arkansas — 35 regiments, and 12 battalions of infantry ; regiments, and 2 battalions of

Florida — 10 regiments, and 2 battalions of infantry ; 2 regiments, and 1 battalion of

and 28 batteries of light artillery.

of light artillery. 
Mississippi — +!) regiments, and 6 battalions of infantry ; 7 regiments, and -i battaUous of 

cavalry ; 2 regiments of partisan rangers ; and 20 battei'ies of liglit artillery. 
North <14.rolina — (59 i-egiments, and 4 battalions of infantry ; 1 regiment, and 5 battalions 

of cavahy ; 2 battalions of heavy artiUery ; and 9 batteries of light artillery. 
South Carolixa — 33 regiments, and 2 battalions of infantry ; 7 regiments and 1 battalion 

of cavalry ; 1 regiment, and 1 battaUon of heavy artillery ; and 28 batteries of light 

artillery. 
Tennessee — 61 regimsnts, and 2 battalions of infantry ; 21 regiments, and 11 battalions of 

cavahy ; 1 regiment, and 1 battalion of heavy artillery ; and 32 batteries of light artillery. 
Texas — 22 regiments, and 5 battalions of infantry ; 2S regiments, and 4 battahons of 

cavalry ;* and 16 batteries of light artillery. 
Virginia — 65 regiments, and 10 battalions of infantr)^ ; 22 regiments, and 11 battalions of 

cavalry ; 1 legiment of partisan rangers ; 1 regiment of artillery ; and 53t batteries of 

light artillery. 
Border States — 21 regiments, and 4 battalions of infantry ; 9 regiments, and 5 battalions 

of cavalry ; and 11 batteries of light artillery. 
C. S. Regulars — 7 regiments of infantry ; 6 regiments of cavahy ; and one battery of 

light artillery. 
Aggreg.\te — 529 regiments, and 85 battalions of infantry ; 127 i-egiments and 47 battalions 

of cavalry ; 8 regiments and 1 battalion of partisan rangers • 5 regiments and 6 battahons 

of heavy artillery ; and 261 batteries of light artiUery. 

In all, equivalent to 764 regiments of 10 companies each. 

These were aU troops of the line, and they served during the wliole, or the gi-eater part of 
the war. The number does not include regiments which served a short time only ; neither 
does it include disbanded or consolidated regiments ; nor State militia, Junior Reserves, Senior 
Reserves, Home Guards, Local Defense regiments, and separate companies. And, yet, tliese 
miscellaneous organizations rendered effective service at times, and took the place of regular 
troops. The Petersburg intrenchments on June 15, 1864, were held successfully by militia- 
men during the first assault, until the arrival of Lee's army. Partisan bands like Moseby's 
and John Morgan's kept ten times their number of Union cavahy employed in protecting the 
territory in which they operated, or in watching their movements. 

The question arises, next, as to the average enrollment of the Confederate regiments. 
That known, the strength of their armies could be soon computed. The rolls of the Noi'th 
Carolina regiments have been printed and, — with the eight regiments of Junior and Senior 
Reserves not included in the foregoing hst,— show a total enrollment of 125,000 men. These 
rolls, incomplete as they necessarily ai-e, show that twenty-two of the North Carolina regi- 

•Some of theso reaiments were not mounted. tXljere were 37 Vu'giuia baxteries in action at Gettysburg.

ments numbered over 1,500 men, each; and some of them over 1,800. The Confederacy- 
organized but few new regiments after 1SG2 ; the recruits and conscripts ^v-ere assigned to the 
old regiments to keep them up to an effectiv^e strength. 

The total loss of the Confederate Armies in killed and moi-tally wounded will never be 
definitely known, and cau be stated only in round numbers. A sunnning up of the casualties 
at each battle and minor engagement — using official reports only, and in their absence 
accepting Confederate estimates — indicates that 9i,000 men were killed or mortally -wounded 
on the Confederate side during the war. 

In the report for 1805-1), made by General James B. Fry, United States Provost Marshal- 
General, there is a tabulation of Confederate losses as compiled from the muster-rolls on file 
in the Bureau of Confederate Archives. The returns are incomplete, and nearly all the 
Alabama rolls are missing. Still the figures are worth noting, as they show that at least 
74.521: were killed or died of wounds ; and, that 51), 29 7 died of disease. From Gen. Fry's 
tabulation the following abstract is made :

If the Confederate rolls could have been completed, and then revised, — as has been done 
with the rolls of the Union regiments, — the number of killed as shown above (74,521) would 
be largely increased. As it is, the extent of such increase must remain a matter of con- 
jecture. The Union roUs were examined at the same time , and a similar tabulation of the 
number killed appears, also, in General Fry's report. But this latter number was increased 
15,000 by a subsequent revision based upon the papers known as " final statements." and upon 
newly-acquired infoi-mation received thi-ough affidavits filed at the Pension Bureau. 

To understand the full meaning of these figures one must keep in mind the sparse popu- 
lation of these States. Their military population in ISCl was : 

Alabama 99,907 | Louisiana 83,456 

Arkansas 65,231 ]\Ii.ssissippi 70,295 

Florida 15,739 | North Carolina 115,369 

Georgia 111,005 | South Carolina 55,046 

Of this number, Tennessee furnished 31,0*2 to the LTnion Armies; and the western 
counties of Virginia — afterwards set apart as West Virginia — furnished 31,872 men. 

»In all countries— except newly-settleU territories— tlio males iucludcd in the military ages, of :3 to 45, constitute one-fifth of tlie entire 
population.

CO>TEDERATE LOSSES. 555 

From the preceding figures it appears that South Carolina lost in killed over 23 per cent, 
of hei- entire military population ; and that North Carolina lost over 17 per cent. Add to this 
the loss by disease, and the maimed or crippled for life, and the result becomes extraordinary 
in its heroic aspect. 

The Confederate Armies lost, in the aggregate, neai-ly 10 per cent, in killed or mortally 
wounded. The average loss in the Union Armies was 5 per cent."' But in the latter there were 
over 300 regiments which were not in action, with as many more whicli were under fire but a 
few times. A large jxart of the Union Armies was used in protecting communications, 
guarding lines of supplies, in gari-ison duty, and as armies of occupation. The Confederate 
regiments were all at the front, and, although repeatedly filled up with recruits, were held 
there until many of them were worn out by the constant attrition. 

For these reasons it is evident that although the Confederate Armies were much smaller, 
their losses were not necessarily smaller in proportion. Their generals displayed a wonderful 
ability in always confronting the enemy with an equal force at the point of contact. What 
mattered Hooker's extra thousands at ChancellorsviUe ? In two corps not a shot was fired. 
What if Meade did have 20,000 more men at Gettysburg than Lee? The Sixth Corps lay in 
reserve. But in these battles, as in otliers, every Confederate regiment was put in and not 
relieved until they had lost killed and wounded men by tlie score. 

The aggregate of killed and mortally wounded in tlie Confederate Armies during the war 
was 10,000 less than in the Union Armies ; or, adding the usual proportion of wounded, a 
difference of about 00,000, killed and wounded, in favor of the Confederates. Up to 1861 the 
aggregate of losses on each side was substantially the same. Tliere was a small percentage 
in favor of the Confederates up to t lat time ; but, if tlieir casualty lists could be subjected to 
the same revision as that recently applied to the nominal casualty lists of the Union Armies, 
it is probable that their official returns as thus corrected would show an increase which would 
largely offset the difference prior to ISOl. The excess of 10,000 killed, in the Union aggi-egate 
— or, its equivalent of GO, 000 iu killed and wounded — occurred almost wholly in the 
campaigns of 1861-5. 

The severity of the losses among the Confederates, and the heroic persistency with which 
they would stand before the enemy's musketry, becomes appai-ent in studying the official 
returns of various regiments. 

At Gettysburg, the 26th North Carolina, of Pettigrew's Brigade, Heth's Division, went 
into action with an effective strength wliich is stated in the regimental official rejiort as 
"over 800 men." They sustained a loss, accordmg to Surgeon-General Guild's report, of 86 
killed and 502 wounded ; total. 588. In addition there were about 120 missing, nearly all of 
whom must have been wounded or killed ; but, as they fell into the enemy's hands, they were 
not included in the hospital report. This loss occurred mostly in the first day's fight, where 
the regiment encountered the 151st Pennsylvaniaf and Cooper's Battery, of Eowley's Brigade, 
Doubleday's Division. The Quartermaster of the 26th, who made the official report on -July 
Ith, states that there were only 216 left for duty after the fight on the 1st inst. The regiment 
then participated in Pickett's charge, on the third day of the battle, in which it attacked the 
position held by Smyth's Brigade, Hays's Division, Second Corps. On the following day it 
mustered only SO men for duty, the missing ones having fallen in the final and vmsuccessful 
charge. In the battle of the first day, Captain Tuttle's company went into action with 3 
officers and 84 men ; all of the officers and 83 of the men wei-e killed or wounded. On the 
same day, and in the same brigade (Pettigrew's), Company C, of the Eleventh North Caro- 
lina, lost 2 officers killed," and 34, out of 38, men killed or wounded ; Captain Bird, of this 
company, with the four remaining men, participated in the chai-ge on the 3d of July, and of

these the flag-bearer was shot, and the captain brought out the flag himself."'- This loss of 
the 2fith North Carolina, at Gettysburg, was the severest regimental loss during the war. 

The next instance, in point of numerical loss, is that of tlie 6th Alabama — Colonel John 
B. Gordon — at Fair Oaks. This regiment was then in Rodes's Brigade of D. H. Hill's Divi- 
sion, which in this tight was pitted against Naglee's Brigade of Casey's Division. The regi- 
ment lost 91 killed, 277 wounded, and 5 missing ; total, 373, out of about 033 engaged. 

In the same battle, and in D. H. HilFs Division also, the Fourth North Carolina, of G. 
B. Anderson's Brigade, sustained a loss of 77 killed, 280 wounded, and missing; total, 309, 
out of 078 engaged. 

At Gaines's Mill the First South Carolina Rifles, Gregg's Brigade, A. P. Hill's Division, 
charged a battery which was supported by the Dnryee Zouaves. The Rifles lost in this attair, 
81 killed, 23i wounded, and 4 misshig ; total, 319, out of 537 engaged. 

At Stone's River the Eighth Tennessee, of Donelson's Brigade, Cheatham's Division, lost 
41 killed and 265 wounded ; total, 300, out of 444 engaged. The 8th sustained the principal 
part of this loss Avhile engaged with some troops of Sheridan's Division, and in a successful 
charge on Houghtahng's Battery, in which they captured several pieces of artillery from that 
and other batteries. 

The severest losses are not always the largest numerically. To understand the extent of 
a regimental loss in any particular battle, one must know the number of men taken into 
action by the regiment. M uiy of the Confederate Colonels were intelligent and thoughtful 
enough in making their battle reports to mention, in connection with the casualties, the 
number of men engaged, without which all such statements convey no definite idea. By 
doing so they have, in many instances, secured for their regiments an honored place in 
history which otherwise would have been lost.

But the foregoing were only a few of the many instances of heavy percentages of loss. 
They represent only the few cases in which the official reports hajipened to mention the num- 
ber of effectives taken into action, and which, again, happened to appear before the order 
was issued, forbidding any further mention in official reports of the strength in action. 

Equally surprising percentages are found in the brigade reports : —

Thsss terrible losses were not confined to regiments and brigades ; in some divisions the 
man were cut down equally fast throughout the entire ranks of the command. During the 
Seven Days' Battle, Longstreet's Division lost in the actions at Gaines's Mill and Glendale 
766 killed, 3,435 wounded and 237 missing; total, 4,433,— out of 8,831 engaged, or 50. 2 per 
cent. 

Nor was this an uncommon loss. The offioial reports of Confederate Division-Genei'als, 
though lacking the figures necessary for a statement of an exact percentage, often indicate 
plainly a division-loss in killed and wounded of over forty per cent. 

Through four years of desperate war and its score of battles these excessive percentages 
divided and sub:hvided tlie ranks, until the end camo and Avith it a division which was merely 
a thing of shreds and patches. 

•Gjiieral Garuettsjys.ia his official report: "ItisfcarcJ from th3 information received that the majority of those reported missinj arc 
cither iLillnJ or wounded." 

iTh:s loss occurred in the two actions of Gaines's Mill and Glendale. 

{General Donelson stated the number in his ofScial report at " about 1,400 men." 



Confederate Losses. 559 

If each regiment in the preceding Hst had fought in no other battle than the one men- 
tioned in connection with it, the record would still be a heroic one ; but the battle mentioned 
was one of a score of bloody contests, in each of which the gallant command was decimated. 
In fact, any regiment in the American War considered itself fortunate if it could come out of 
a battle with no greater loss than decimation. 

But, in May, 1SG3, General Lee issued an order whicli has an important bearing on the 
subject of regimental casualties in the Confederate Army : 

HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF NORTHERN VIRGINIA. 
General Orders, No. 63. May 14, 1863. 

The practice which prevails in the Army of including in the list of casualties those cases of slight injuries which do 
not incapacitate the recipients for duty, is calculated to mislead our friends, and encourage our enemies, by giving false 
impressions as to the extent of our losses. 

The loss sustained by a brigade or regiment is by no means an indication of the service performed or perils encoun- 
tered, as experience shows that those who attack most rapidly, vigorously, and effectually generally suffer the least. It 
is, therefore, ordered that in future the reports of the wounded shall only include those whose injuries, in the opinion of 
the medical officers, render them unfit for duty. It has also been observed that the published reports of casualties are in 
some instances accompanied by a statement of the number of men taken into action. The commanding general deems 
it unnecessary to do more than direct the attention of oSicers to the impropriety of thus furnishing the enemy with the 
means of computing our strength, in order to insure the immediate suppression of this pernicious and useless custom. 

By command of General Lee. W. H. TAYLOR, Assistant Adjulant-General. 

If this order was observed, it is evident that all subsc uent casualty lists are of little 
value for statistical purposes ; and, if enforced, that many a gallant regiment has been deprived 
of the laurels to wliich its heroic record would liave entitled it. 

The effect of this ordei' is manifest in the tone of the official I'eports made by the regi- 
mental commandants at the next battle. For instance : 

I herewith respectfully submit a detailed statement of casualties, giving names and description of wounds in full, 
from which I have ontiltcd all slii^ht wmnJs which, though sufficient to disable a man for a day or two, will not prevent 
his tailing part in the next battle, — say a week or ten days from the time the hurt was received. [Official report of 
Ninth Georgia, for Gettysburg.] 

Below I submit a list of killed, wounded, and missing. The '.oounded include only those disabled indefinitely. Quite 
a number were temporarily disabled by slight wounds, but resumed their duties in a few days ; hence I make no mention 
of them in this report. [Official report of Colonel V. H. Manning, Third Arkansas ; for Gettysburg.]* 

This order lays too much stress upon the hackneyed assertion that losses are by no means 
an indication of the service performed or p3rils encountered. Such statements have, indeed, 
proved true in a few particular instances ; but, in only a few. They were exceptions which 
only proved the rule. A study of regimental actions shows clearly that the battalions which 
faced musketry the steadiest, longest, and of teuest were the ones whose aggi-egate loss during 
the war was the greatest. Fighting regiments leave a bloody wake behind them ; retreating 
regiments lose few men. At Chancelloi'sville, the heaviest losses were in tlie corps that stood; 
not in the one that broke. 

In the following table is given the leading regiments, in point of loss, at various battles. 
The list is incomplete, as there are few Confederate official reports for the latter part of the 
war. Still the I'ecord is one which will ever i-edound to the credit of American manhood, and 
to the glory of the American soldier.

Confederate General Officers Killed in Action. 571 

There are no muster-out rolls of the Confederate regiments. There are partial sets of 
muster-rolls and monthly returns at Washington in the Bureau of Confederate Archives ; 
but they are defective and incomplete. There is no way of determining accurately the 
mortuary loss of each Confederate regiment during its entire service. 

The total losses of a few regiments have been ascertained from other sources. The His- 
tory of Gregg's South Carolina Brigade states the number of deaths in each regiment, and, 
judging from the casualty Usts given for each action, the statistics are substantially correct.

But the loss in action of this famous brigade was largely in excess of other commands. 
The average number of killed in the Confederate regiments was something less than 150. 

The desperate character of the fighting entailed a large loss of life upon the general 
officers. The following list has been compiled from the official reports, but some names may 
possibly have been omitted.

The record of casualties in the Confederate Navy is not a startling one. Nevertheless, 
the Confederate seamen, in every action, fought their ships to the last extremity, and made a 
record which, for heroism, skill, and enterprise, will challenge the attention of the historical 
student as long as the story of the war is told. 

With crippled resources, and under discouraging circumstances, vessels were constructed 
which revolutionized the entire sy.stem of naval warfare, and although the flag of the Con- 
federate Navy Avent down in ultimate ruin and defeat, it will survive in the history of the 
world's navies as the flag which waved over the first iron-clad.

But any recital of casualties or battles would fail to convey a proper idea of the extent 
and activity of the Confederate Navy. Important and successful operations were carried on 
by privateers and swift cruisers flying the Confedei'ate flag. ■ These cruisers inflicted an 
immense damage on the commerce of the United States. The Confederate steamer Alabama 
captured or destroyed 69 ves,sels ;^ the Florida, 37 ; the Tallahassee, 29 ; the Shenandoah, 36 ; 
the Sumter, 18 ; the Olustee, 6 ; the Tacony, 15 ; the Georgia, 9 ; the Clarence, 8 ; the Jeff. 
Davis, 8 ; the Chickamauga, 4 ; and the Nashville, 2. There were other privateers which 
also made some captures.

574 Regimental Losses !>• the Civil War. 



IN CONCLUSION. 

Every stoiy, even a statistical one, has its moral, and some suggestions pertinent to the 
subject seem proper here. The official records of the Civil War, though voluminous and rich 
in valuable information, are too often deficient in the facts essential to a proper statement of 
a regimental loss in action. 

Only a few of the regiments, comparatively, made official reports for the actions in which 
they were engaged. After a hai'd-fought battle the regimental commandant would, perhaps, 
write a long letter to his wife detailing the operations of his regiment, and some of his men 
would send to their village paper an account of the fight, but no report would be forwarded 
officially to headquarters. Many colonels regarded the report as an irksome and unnecessary 
task ; something to be avoided if possible, something to be attended to only when compelled 
by the repeated vu'ging of a superior. They were evidently not aware that their only chance 
to gain a place for their regiment in the archives of history was through the medium of such 
returns. 

Of the official battle reports wliich were made by regimental commandants, but few gave 
the figures for their casualties. Hard flgbting and heavy losses were often claimed, but as 
these terms were used without discrimination they became meanmgiess. Sometimes allusion 
was made to a nominal list of casualties appended, but its totals were not included in the 
report, and so when the accompanying list was lost, as was often the case, there was nothing 
to show what the colonel's idea of a heavy loss was. 

Again, mention was seldom made of the number of men taken into action, without 
which any statement of casualties was, to a large extent, meaningless, and for purposes of 
comparison was worthless. 

In the nominal lists of wounded men no distinction was made between the mortally, 
seriously, or slightly wounded ; and the list of missing failed to show whether the men were 
captured or belonged to the class whose fate was unknown. Too often, no return of cas- 
ualties wliatever was made. As a result the statistics of our last war are, in many instances, 
meager and unsatisfactory ; and, in some cases are wanting entirely. 

At the close of a war the Government should be able to i^ublish the regimental losses in 
form similar to Dr. Engel's " Verluste der deutschen Armeen im Kriege gegen Frankreich, 
1870 und 1871," an admirable official work which was given to the public by the German 
Government. The Staff of the German Army directed successfully the operations of a great 
war, but they still found time to supervise carefully the items of the " butcher's bill." 

In a couver.sation with the late Colonel Robert N. Scott, U. S. A.,* concerning these 
matters, that officer remarked, "We will do these things better in the next war." Tlie 
question ai'ises, will the "we" of the future do these things any better? In the turmoil and 
excitement will not "these things" be again overlooked, and gallant regiments be again dis- 
banded without leaving scarcely a trace to show how well they fought ? Will not History be 
again neglected or despoiled ? 

Is it asking too much that, now, in time of peace, the National Military Academy 
pr-ovide in its course of instruction against any repetition of such neglect. Or, if such 
pi-ovision belongs within the province of the Adjutant-Generars department, let the Blue 
Book containing the United States Ar-my Eegulations include the blank forms and par-agraphs 
of instruction necessary to such end. 

•Editor of the Official liecords of tlie t'nion and C'otifederate Armies, as publislied by the War Department. 



In Conclusion. 575 

In future wars the rule requiring regimental commandants to hand in an official report 
after each battle, should be rigidly enforced. Each colonel should be instructed to order a 
count made of his men just before going into action, instead of referring to the morning 
report for information regarding the strength of his command. Commandants should not 
only hand in a casualty list, but should see that it is properly classified, and that a copy is 
promptly transmitted to the proper bureau or to some place of safety. The totals of the 
casualty list should be included in the official report, accompanied by an accurate statement 
of the number of officers and men in line or actually engaged. 

In each regiment there should be some officer, attached to the non-commissioned staff, 
who should be entrusted with the care and preparation of the regimental statistics and 
casualty lists ; and this person should be exempted fi'om all liability to accidents in battle, 
and should not be allowed to go into action. During such times as the regiment was not 
engaged in an active campaign, this officer would find ample employment in ascertaining the 
fate of missing men, and of the wounded and sick who were absent in hospital or on 
furlough. All statements of casualties in battle made by him should be accompanied by a 
leport of the number engaged, and such statements, together with all other moituary reports, 
should be made in manifold, one copy to be forwarded to the War Department and one to the 
Adjutant-General of the State to which the regiment belonged. There should, also, be a 
definite agreement between belligerents that all captured records of this class should not be 
de,?troyed ; and, that a full record should be carefully made of the fate of all prisoners within 
their respective lines. 

To all this some may sneer and some will say, " Cui bono .?" If so, let it be remembered 
that there are other reasons than money or patriotism which induce men to risk life and 
limb in war. There is the love of glory and the expectation of honorable recognition. Br.t 
the private in the ranks expects neither. His identity is merged in that of his regiment. 
To him the regiment and its name is everything. He does not expect to see his own name 
on the ]jage of history, and is content with a proper recognition of tlie old command in which 
hj fought. But he is jealous of the record of his regiment, and demands credit for every 
shot it faced and every grave it filled. 

The bloody laurels for which a regiment contends will always be awarded to tlic one with 
the longest Roll of Honor. Scars are the true evidence of wounds and the regimental scars 
can be seen only in the record of its casualties. In our last war many a noble regiment lost 
the place in history to which it \\ as entitled through a failure to file the proper records of its 
gallant deeds. Will it always be so ?

The Sixty-ninth New York Militia, mentioned in the notes on page 204, was an entirely 
different regiment from the famous Sixty-ninth New York Volunteers treated of on that page, 
and, hence. Bull Eun is omitted from the list of battles on that page. There were three 
regiments in the war each known as the Sixty-ninth New York, viz. : the Sixty-ninth Militia, 
of New York City, which fought at First Bull Run, and wliich volunteered repeatedly for 
short-term enlistments; the Sixty-ninth Volunteers of the Irish Brigade ; and the Sixty-ninth 
National Guard Artillery (or J82d N. Y. Vols.) of the Corcoran Legion, mentioned on page 
480. Thus, at times, there were three different regiments in the field knoAvn as the Sixty- 
ninth New York. The Sixty-ninth New York proper was the volunteer regiment whose 
battle-list appears on page 204.
